Just curious, because though we tend to differ about some things we always manage amicable humor as well : did you see what I posted to our friend from Kazakhstan as abusive in any way? I certainly didn't mean it that way. He seemed to come away from Mike's message with the impression that Obama had not in fact been born in the US and I was trying to clarify it all for him using English sentence structures which I thought were clearer for a non-native speaker. ( and in fact President Nursultan Nazarbayev had been relelected for another 5 year term with over 95% percent of the vote on April 11 of this year. )
Mike's reaction certainly didn't bother me, but I felt said more about Mike than about me.
But if you saw it differently I would be interested to know.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
