...*sigh*

Since I have started on this odyssey, I cannot believe (well I can, I just said that for dramatic effect) that people just can't let things go.

Hang on people, round two is about to begin.

One senses the continuous guilt which weaves through the fabric of this vitriol.
There is an unconcealed resentment towards the very Nation who gave you birth.- and the jealousy of our Monarchy is equally rather sudden and stark.
With regard to the rest of the diatribe I shall use the words of Winston Churchill , when sitting on the commode , as his valet announced the arrival of an enraged editor of the ''Express'' - Lord Beaverbrook
'' Tell his lordship I can only deal with one shit at a time ''

Don’t take this personally, just take it.

There is no guilt on this end, only on yours. It can be sensed by the lack of direct comment and avoidance of any of the points made in my "diatribe." Clearly you cannot refute any of them. (Laughing) The only resentment is about the arrogant tone you continue with after realizing what a poor job your country did governing colonies. Clearly, your leadership hadn’t a clue of the local issues.

I admire the traditions that your country has towards the Royal family. I think tradition is important in society. I also have several British friends that enjoy their time here in my country; and when I informed them of this little exchange of ideas, they laughed; I trust you understand, the laughter was directed towards you. They consider themselves loyal countrymen/women, and consider you to be pompous and arrogant (not my words). Remember, the Prime Minister and the Parliament (both Houses) is where the action is.

Funny how you should use the word “vitriol” in your response (again, here I am defining words to someone who should be a master of the English language –also a comment made by my British friends); the comments made were factual, not abusive or venomous. It was not expressing blame, censure, or bitter deep-seated ill will. It was directed at comments made in your posting, much like a debate, where there are two sides to an issue. Argumentative would have been a better choice. If you didn't like the feedback you received, or have your thoughts challenged openly, disable the comments section of your blog.

It should also be noted that it was shameful to demean Winston Churchill by painting a picture of him on a commode. It was childish and immature –surprising, coming from someone trying to revere himself as an elitist. But since you’ve started down this road -at least he was doing something productive, and not full of...

...himself.
