    Also, the PIRA were [sarc] nice kind peace loving people [/sarc] as there isn't any proof of otherwise.

    And you agree with the methods?
    Why does stating a fact = agreeing with said fact?

    If I said Hitler got thousands of people gassed, are you going to assume that I agree with it?:eek:

    If you stated "what would you do if an inferior species was dragging down your master rage" I would conclude you supported Hitlers actions. In the same way, statement where made initially by pathfinder which appeared to support collusion.

    Finally, you'll notice the question mark at the end of what you quoted. I was trying to get pathfinder to declare definitively his views. It was a question not a statement.
