I think it's more humiliating to Fahdiz that he got drawn in to the web.

In no way. He merely responded to a personal attack from Raz.

Don't feel humiliated.  Now that I know you are trolling, I can safely take what you say as a grain of salt.
Likewise, but I'm no good at trolling. Unlike yourself. ;)

No, you aren't.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Of course not. That why my responses on your humiliation are not a troll for you.

The phrase is actually, "with a grain of salt." From the ancient world in which some poison antidotes were given with a single grain of salt as this (was believed) to make them effective.

Maybe this is a topic for a different thread, but who do you guys *hope* did it?  This guy desperately hopes it's a white dude:

http://www.salon.com/2013/04/16/lets_hope_the_boston_marathon_bomber_is_a_white_american/

His arguement is pretty bizarre.  We blamed a terrorist network when it was a terrorist network...therefore a double standard is at play?  Also selective memory, law enforcement was all over the crazies and their militias after the McVeigh thing.  And they are going nutso again after the Sandy Hook thing.  Not to mention the fact McVeigh blew up a building in BFE Oklahoma City while AQ took down the World freaking Trade Center and the Pentagon.  Besides he is acting like all of us are the racist assholes who went out and did anti-Muslim shit after 9/11....I mean really whatever the lowest scum of America does is all of us?  We are all KKK!

Also selective memory, law enforcement was all over the crazies and their militias after the McVeigh thing.

Talk about selective memory, indeed--people overplay that whole we-suspected-Muslims-at-Oklahoma-City-at-first thing waaaaay too much.
 
That rumor and possibility--not even circulated by most news organizations--was pretty much snuffed out by 2pm that day, even by the press;  I was still on the force at the time, and the FBI guys that came in and briefed us in the middle of the double shifts that day were talking Waco sympathizers and a very localized threat because it was a Federal building in the mid-west on April 19th.  They considered it a very, very weak possibility that there could be Islamic fundie connections like WTC 1993.

Well terrorist network was applied fairly broadly and people's connections were pretty loose.

I mean, in the sense that I hope it's anyone, I "hope" the motive right-wing extremists, because it could stand to be further discredited.  Radical Islam is already thoroughly discredited and we don't need a minor event to keep our civilizational war alive.
