So the more I think on this, the more angry/befuddled I get. You "have a feeling" that some posters HERE rejoiced at the 9/11 attacks???
If I "have a feeling" that someone here fornicates with goats and kills children for breakfast, it wouldn't be within my rights to say such a thing. Such an opinion can only hurt the processes of this board.
What you write is pretty much is the most inflammatory thing I've seen on these politics boards. That you could hold such an opinion confuses me to no end. I honestly don't know what to say except that this comment illustrates the gap in understanding between the 'sides'.
Rather than hold such an opinion, I would encourage you to ask questions and dig into what you don't understand about opinions you don't get/like. We are supposed to respect and value the opinions of others in this place. In that spirit, I invite you to help me understand how you could have meant your comment differently than I read it.
Just because I question my articulation, I'll throw this out one more time: ascribing 'joy' to anyone, outside of actual the actual murderers, for the crimes others commit is a leap I can't even comprehend.
