Exactly my point.  You didn't know who you wanted to "get" when you started
all this.

I'm sorry.  Apology accepted.  My point still remains that at that time
you mistook Mr. Turley for someone else.

So you decide who is right and who is wrong.  I suppose you will now lump
me into your self-defined list of 'loonies'.  I would take this opportunity
to point out that I have not publically taken sides on the pirate debate.
I have only stated that in my opinion you are here to engage in flames.

Hmm.  I see.  So you are not yourself being an 'internet-cop' by trying
to force Mr. Mates and others to stop standing up for their opinions?
It is okay for you to police csa2 to 'stop' Mr. Mates because he is 
against your opinions?   You are being arrogant also.
Yes, Mr. Mates can be a little brusk at times, but then again, you can
be too.  (See the 'media' dig at the beginning of your relpy.)
