I don't make a habit to respond to statements I don't consider worth a response.
In regards to your other points:
This message board is, at its heart, a dialogue, an exchange of ideas on particular topics.
As with any dialogue or exhange, a complete understanding requires that the listener or reader pay attention to context.
In our exchange, we were talking about the insurgents. In fact, a good chunk of thread is about them, and whether they and/or others like them are "terrorists", "freedom fighers" or both.
In fact, a plain reading of the thread reveals that very little, if any, has been devoted to the Iraqis (or any other nationality) as a whole. Instead it has been devoted to the insurgents.
As such, it should have been, and I would submit was, clear to any unbiased reader that the context made clear that I was referring to the insurgents, just as the rest of the thread was.
Finally, I would respectfully submit that your retreat to the classic "desparate liberal fallback position" of calling your appointment a "racist" is simply your way of admitting you can't argue the issue on anything but emotional terms.
Or, as BSAMS would say, I WIN.
