It is not a good day for Ahi to spout that kind of crap.

DG, i understand and respect your feelings, but i sincerely think that there may have been some overreaction about what seems to be an understandably touchy subject. ahi would like to read about a topic ; he doesn't want to have a biased account from the perspective of one of the main protagonists in the story. that is all he said. it seems that his interest in the subject was enough to spark a flame, which again, may be understandable given some context, but still, i would appreciate it if you could keep in mind how much we
all (including you, i know !) really cherish the tolerant and respectful ambiance that we try to cultivate here. you don't have to agree with him or have any interest in reading about this subject. but i do hope you can take a step back and realise that merely having a different perspective doesn't imply any disrespect to you personally nor your country, and allow for other perspectives than your own as well. i have seen you do this elsewhere ; i am sure you can do it here too.
