    Easy. Personal attacks are really not needed here. Unlike the vast majority of the world it seems, here, we are mostly all on the same side. It is very possible to keep things civil if we just pause before responding, and remember we’re all real people here in what seems like an impossible situation. Out of the box thinking is needed to resolve situations like that, and when you’re thinking outside of the box you’re going to have more misses than hits.

    Most of us pride ourselves on this being a more civil place than ‘the other site’. Let’s all keep working to keep it that way please.

        I’m sorry, are we talking about the same comment? The one you replied to, which I replied to your reply to, wasn’t “whitewashing genocide” as far as I can see? It was pointing out that the people engaging in genocide aren’t going to have any hesitation to seize a boat of civilians in international waters, and suggested that said civilians should have perhaps rigged the boat to explode after they were captured so they could blame it on the genocidal maniacs.

        Are we talking about the same post here?
