Which would be wrong. It would also not be in line with the actual subject of this thread.

Believe me, I can completely relate. In the Asian hate crime thread I related that I have friends who have been directly affected. Unfortunately, no one in that thread afforded me any special insight or consideration due to this.

While I can completely understand this position I don't think this statement can be applied, in any reasonable degree, to the posts made by myself or Beaker. Both of which I think address this issue in a considered and rational fashion.
