] Date Posted: 17:24:45 01/16/05 Sun In reply to: Young Irelander 's message, "Such a misunderstanding..." on 04:06:34 01/16/05 Sun Ian,thank you for your response.Issues involving the past can get very emotional and clearly I let my emotions get the better of me on more than one occasion. Once again,sorry about the "dreamers" comment I made but again I was angry at the time. Roberdin,yes it is me.I thank you for your response.I want to again acknowledge that I have no real animosity towards anyone here. Dave,I thank you also for your response.Yes,I have posted on the Irish Unionism forum. Usually,I am very measured in my responses but unfortunately on this forum I let my emotions and temper get the better of me which I am unhappy about. As I said,I did not impersonate anybody and I thank you for your dignified response acknowledging that. You are quite right in what you say about moving on from the past and I hope that by all of us moving on from the events of 2004 on thsi forum that we can ourselves do this. Lastly,I would just like to say that I am very appreciative that you have been so understanding. As I said,usually I give measured comments on other forums.What transpired on this particular forum was not something I am happy or proud about and I would like to get past that and get over it by burying the hatchet and letting bygones be bygones. I know my legacy on this forum was not a great one but I hope that you will realise that I'm not a bad guy really and that I just lost my cool on a couple of occasions. Thank you for hearing me out and good luck to you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 18:05:05 01/16/05 Sun Now, YI, before you blow another gasket, allow me to point out I'm in the same boat (albeit in the fenced off bit at the top-right of said boat). Don't worry about the Irish temper, it gets the better of all of us islanders at one time or another and, compare to a lot of Irish posts I've read in my time, was hardly an outburst. So don't worry about it but do what I do - when you feel yourself getting het up, log off, have a drink (Black Bush is my own recommendation), then come back. If you're still angry, then hell, let rip. Usually though I find I've had time to calm down enough to argue the point in a (comparatively) civilised manner and feel a lot better for doing so. It's only fair to point out that I have a dodgy internet connection that has also saved me from making a fool of myself several times (thanks, BT). As for being dreamers, I've been called a lot worse, and yes we are dreaming. Dreams become notions, which become goals, which, eventually, may become action. I don't see that there's anything wrong with it. The FCS is not around the corner by a long shot but it is nice to know that there are others out there, especially those who should hate their former colonial master, who can look forward to a future of cooperation and equality rather than back at an imperial and bloody past. As for the Irish, being among the most fervent of the anti-British former colonies, your presence is valuable and your opinions as valid as everyone else's, so why not drop the alias and join the FCS forum to help us dream up a better future for all of us, commonwealth and non-commonwealth alike. Out of interest, why are you here? It's not that I don't welcome you it's just that I'm wondering what could inspire a 'Young Irelander' to visit a pro-British Commonwealth forum?
