Chris, I've read enough of your posts to know you're a good guy and pretty fair when it comes to things like this. So, if you saw fit to delete my post, so be it. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I just really have no idea what you found offensive about what I said.
Now, here's a quote from the original message:
I nevertheless find myself considerably Liking and Admiring this guy
If you don't find that offensive, I guess our heads are screwed on differently. I've never found anything to like or admire about a mass murderer... your milage may vary...
