I'm aware of that...

Floodser is Not a particularly pro-IRA head at all. Neither am I, for teh record. Most people in Ireland have a pain in their butt with being labelled Republicans and IRA heads just because they've learnt to see through the lies and whitewash of successive English Governments.

Sorry..you're right.. I guess he's probably more inclined to their cause,

their methods, from what I can gather.. I wrote in haste.

I think you should (unlike certain decrepit fools who've recently returned) be a good deal more cautious about so blithely labelling someone with such a potentially ruinous allegation (and take a good look at my posting history here, to discover your error wrt my views on the Provos).

It might not greatly concern you in Australia (or senile old gits in California), but even an ill-founded rumour of such things can be taken quite seriously here, especially if the accused is connected to the Irish security forces.

I have nothing to hide, and I choose to post under my real name, as does Michael O'Neill - not safe, anonymous pseudonyms like some cowards who like to point fingers - and I would ask that you have a regard to at least the libel laws, if simple ordinary decency doesn't matter to you.

If you want to continue this discussion - and there's more to the story that I won't discuss on Usenet - then email me at NOSPAMmaoltuile@SPAMNOTutvinternet.ie (take out the obvious).

If you feel that you must slander others, stick to doing it by email, like certain regulars here. Be aware, though, that these can stay on hard drives for a *very* long time (you know who you are, snookums).
