Very well put Betty..and your inclusion of the alias poster comment..Right on the money..Im pretty much of the opinion if the poster uses an alias, Im taking it as a sign he from a lesser God.
The lame excuse about candid honest remarks is just BS. It says a lot about them as human beings (i.e. spineless).
Thank you again for your very sincere genuine thoughts. I'll always remember what I was doing that day as the plane flew over me.

Let's talk about "mean-spirited".

First of all, on the 10th anniversary of a day when over a  thousand people died so violently, and hundreds of thousand more as a consequence, the original post contains a quote advocating violence. That is mean-spirited.

Then I posted something so obvious that you would agree. I turn on the TV, turn on the radio, open a newspaper, pick up a news magazine from my mailbox, check the news on the Internet, and I see 9/11. I don't need to allocate a moment to remember 9/11. For the last 10 years, I think about it all the time; I don't need an arbitrary day to be bombarded with memories of 9/11/2001 when, on that day, CNN bombarded us continuously with the image of the plane hitting the twin tower.

As a response, you post an hate-filled rant. Who is mean-spirited?

I am glad I posted with an alias, I was not expecting such hate.

I appreciate what you're saying.  I tried to look at it that way myself.  Then I took a look at his other posts.  After reading them (link below), I'm not buying into this being a simple misunderstanding.  He has a habit of being sarcastic.  This time it bit him in the ass.  I'm sticking with my original response.  

No matter how you twist it, he was wrong to post with such rudeness and sarcasm.  He should have stayed off of this thread if he did not have anything nice to say.
