Well he certainly did write it. My guess is it was written without a lot of thought and on the assumption that it would either be ignored or met with howls of approval from the few like minded individuals who populated the board at that time. We actually managed to finish that thread on reasonable terms which I'd imagine is something of a rarity here as it is on most discussion forums. However, that the dragonized poster seems to want to change most topics on this discussion board into a rant about how terrible the Chinese are suggests to me that he did mean it to some extent. That I am only replying to a finite number of his posts as opposed to everything he's ever said and done on this board or in his life is hardly something that can be used against me. I can only respond to what he himself has posted in the last few months. If those things contradict what he wrote prior to that time then so be it. Everyone is entitled to change their opinion.
