It appears those comments have now been removed. As for the mirror, I was suggesting that while you mocked his English/logic, a mirror would be handy.

Because as he explained, if we do that, everyone will be loser. I do not think that any sides had won during the autumn protest, however we have choice between dwelling on the impossible task of producing simpified answer in binary fashion or accept these chaotic time in our history as potential watershed for all possible of positive changes in the future, kind that make everyone a winner. It was bad enough that I have witnessed that many relationships and friendships were either compromise or destroyed during the time. I'm glad to say that for my part, one by one I managed to restore all ties that I valued which were strained by these events. These takes time. As emertius President I.K.Jordan once remark that there are more to unite us than divide us. I am sorry to say that your current line of discourse is not at all helpful nor productive at all. If you are so worried about how historians will look back at these events. Well, as historian myself, I can tell you that people tend to weigh a historical event in value by taking look at what took in place as subequent. So the question for you, where do you like to see we go from here as community? Scooter,
