I said and meant that I find it interesting what motivates infrequent posters to post. For you, it agreeing with a bunch of rationalizations about torture was the motivation for one of your rare posts. Why should I not notice that and remark about it?

I'm not your victim.

Exactly my point. So stop acting as though you think you are. Or don't. It's entirely up to you.
