Bear in mind that this diatribe was the result of my commenting that his attitude and desired actions toward people in Iraq (specifically the prisoners abused by American personnel, which he feel SHOULD be subjected to whatever abuse we can invent) would only lower us to the same level as those he despises so strongly (those who have abused American prisoners at times). I also noted that we as Americans and members of the world community need to hold ourselves to a higher standard that those we criticize on the basis of their treatment of their citizens and their prisoners. His response to that observation was to lock me out of the board, preventing any further discussion of that or any other issue.
Given that forum moderators on Delphi have unilateral control of their boards, I don't see why anyone would want to participate there, including myself on that or any other Delphi forum from this point forward. Just a heads-up for anyone considering getting involved there.

So as much as I might want to write this off as a stress-induced aberation because of that murder, I can't. He knew exactly what he was saying from the very beginning, long before this decapitation became publicly known or the tape publicly released. He's simply whacked out, and appears determined to dismiss any contrary opinions on HIS board. And if posters such as myself point out certain things, we're unilaterally banned from participation. So not only has he dismissed my observations, he's made it so that he doesn't even have to see contrary opinions.

The forum I was unceremoniously and unilaterally kicked out of for an totally unappreciated but objective observation was run by Conservatives, not only that but highly *religious* and MORAL conservatives who were advocating some very Nazi-esque treatment of Iraqi prisoners. So I myself would hesitate before attributing Nazi-like behavior to any one group, as nobody evidently has a monopoly on it.
And no, except for now TWO Delphi forums (one run by rabid conservatives, the other by rabid liberals) I haven't been banned from any online debate/discussion board. I guess moderate and/or objective opinions and observations aren't to be tolerated in many fora.

As this is somewhat an OT thread may I ask the origin/reason behind your screen name?
Curious.
