28. You are completely wrongheaded if you believe that Violet has such an agenda.

Accusing anyone of trying to whip up anti-French sentiment on DU, simply because they posted an article containing news that is actually quite pertinent to the massacre of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, is just plain wrong.

Accusing her of such a thing is simply ridiculous. I sympathize with you about much of the crap I've seen posted here since last week, and yes, lots of it has been Anti-French, but you're barking up the wrong tree to blast Violet for that.
