It's always a healthy thing to have balanced coverage in media. For example, the local independant media tend to uncover government's problems. When people have access and feel comfortable to digest positive AND negative news about their government, country or nation, the people become mature and intelligent. They are less likely mis-led by any small group of people. That's why, after being bombarded by the positive stories in textbooks, TV and newspaper over the years, it's a good thing to learn other aspects of the history. It's not being negative, it's being objective.
It's quite normal in the cyber world that a debate turns into a nasty personal attack. I will never initiate such an attack because it sidetracks the topic. So if you don't want to continue the debate, just stop. But do expect nastier words to come back to yourself when you initiate it. On CFC, have seen such stupid IDs that initiated something dirty, when dirtier things went back to themselves, they just got mad. Poor guys.
Having said all the above, I accept ypour apology.
