[Hoot Gibson]

I thought we settled that issue in PM Hoot, with apologies? The way I do things, is if I accept an apology, I never bring it up again. This latest post of mine wasn't any kind of insult, I merely pointed out to you that posting that video, knowing it had been cut and edited, was beneath you.

BTW, I don't count that other stuff as losing a debate. I guess we disagree on the difference in having no respect for something and ridiculing it.

Sorry, I don't think that I have ever read a single post by anybody on any forum that has caused me to "lose all respect" for them. So, the fact that the audio was broadcast from a different ship in the flotilla than the one to which it was originally attributed seems like a pretty flimsy excuse for making such a statement. I am a radio enthusiast (a licensed one) and if you have ever listened to a group of people broadcasting on the same frequency and tried to distinguish among them, then you would know that such a mix-up is both plausible and understandable.

However, Israel is at war and disinformation is a part of war. Neither you nor I will ever be able to say with certainty who made the broadcast but that is no excuse to make the childish comment that you made toward me. There is a big difference in ridiculing a position and disrespecting the person advancing it. You did the latter, not the former. It shows me the depth and sincerity of your worthless apology...and don't bother me with any more PMs - they will be ignored and unread.
