it is usually provoked by the 'take no prisoners' VP stance

I don't know what that is.

Yeah, sorry, I couldn't think of a better way to put it. It's just that your group is exclusive; GC is inclusive (to a large degree). Exclusive groups tend to ruffle the feathers of inclusive (more tolerant) groups when they push their agenda in the others home. That's all. But I really think you know that.

As for the apology comment: fair enough. You know what you have said better than I do and I'm not motivated to search past posts of yours to try to prove you wrong. I seems that you have lashed back personally a few time to posters here, not just Dante; but maybe I'm wrong.
