Dear Mirek,
i've much appreciated your answer. Unfortunately the disease of the
Indirect Democracy leads a few individuals to desperately seek allies of
higher ranks in order to proceed with their own goals, rather than
trying to solve the issue the way DD suggests (and you have brilliantly
put).

To set the record straight, i've been spit in the face by Georges too, a
while ago. He seem to prefer this obnoxious sport to any discussions.
Here's how it went. I pointed out that Hamas had regularly won the
elections, and this was not a tolerable statement, hence the spit.
What i find utterly miserable in Georges' habit is to confuse peace
times with war times, people armed and ready to torture with unarmed
people, opinions and facts. I wrote a reply to his spitting a while ago,
and i still think it may help us to understand that spitting in a SS
officer's face during nazism is by far different from spitting in a
internet peer's face  now.  I have no hope that Georges can  understand
this, but i'm sure you will.

Heroes and Idiots

It takes a hero to find peace solutions in war times. It takes an idiot
to find war solutions in peace times.

It takes a hero to spit in the face of an armed SS officer. It takes an
idiot to spit in the face of an unarmed peer in a 2007 internet group.

It takes a hero to die upright while fighting. It takes an idiot to make
a peer feel miserable.

It takes a hero to spit in the face of the armed SS officer before him.
It takes an idiot to think that his spit can travel (C?) from Northern
France to Northern Italy.       (snip)

It takes a hero to acknowledge that pain is the highest value before
which we should all stop. It takes an idiot to make distinctions between
races, sexes, ages, beliefs of all sorts and even species about this.

It takes an hero to heal such pain. It takes a idiot to cause it.
