(327 posts)10. I thought I might alert this post for calling me a troll.
But then I concluded you must have misinterpreted my posting. I didn't say ALL, or even MOST. I added no adjective.
I have paid attention. I have seen people here both supporting and opposing the bombings.
You might want to ask yourself why you have such a low threshold for troll identification.
