    Maybe I need to be slightly more clear about my position.  I've come to this conclusion due to the fact that the responses I've received centered mostly around, "But, Ivar, they're so NICE to us when WE go down south!"  HUH?  Were you actually reading the message or just having it read TO you?  The Southern leaders have declared WAR on us!  They have removed any opposition by force and have placed in positions of power and influence puppets, cowards, and criminals.

    Which brings me to a rather important point.  When I was referring to criminals, I was NOT talking about Barn!  Everyone who knew him for quite a while already KNEW about his past.  He did his time and paid for it.  He wasn't proud of what he had done but it was in the past so we kept it there.  Enough said.  Or at least *I* thought that that was enough.  The fact that he reacted in such a volatile way leads me to think that he hadn't come to grips with it as well as well all had hoped and that he may have been trying to hide the facts, despite that they're a matter of public record, instead of just saying, "Yes, I did do that.  I'm not proud of it but I paid the consequences and I'm not that person anymore."  That was what he told me and that is why I had so much respect for him for so long.

    What I WAS referring to was our "Noble" Crown, his underlings, and his mouth-pieces doing whatever was necessary to hide criminal malfeasance and dereliction of duty in one barony and removing what they considered a threat to their power in another.

    If THAT'S what Southern Hospitality is, you can keep it!



I'm certain there were a great many people in 1917 Belfast who admired the English and THEIR hospitality, too...
