Recluse then re-translated astra's comment, and even if it was in answer to Bilbo, it was actually referring to the people talking before. One of them was me, one of them was Moejoe. So I take it that we were called non-entities.
Dropping words like 'demagogy' or 'non-entity' doesn't serve to prove any point.
I'm just clarifying here for Am and anyone else who wonders.
I don't want to fight with anyone. I don't think it's worth it. This feels a lot like kindergarten (he said, she said, he called me ..., and so on). Bye now.

Ditto.
Recluse's comment was a thinly-veiled attack not at what Bilbo was saying, but at what was said beforehand. Very sneaky.
EDIT: and I did read all posts, here's how it went.
ASTRA - Nonsensical meandering insult about discussion, veiled insults to those discussing. Attempts to re-paint those who are pro-flag/patriotism as victims and as being shouted out by other voices.
KINDLEKITTEN - Agreement.
BILBO - Angry barb in response to the nonsensical insult, re-painting.
RECLUSE - Sneaky comment.
OMK3 - Reaction to sneaky comment.
ME - Reaction to sneaky comment. Screw you. Blockage!
RECLUSE - Clarification.
AM - Why can't we all just get along, and also, learn how to read dumbos.
OMK3 - Clarification.
ME - Agreement and extrapolation.
