yep, I will defend those that are being attacked, particularly those that get attacked merely for disagreeing with the popular opinion, and those that get attacked by the use of insinuation, (the cowards way of attacking).
I doesn't matter who it is that is being attacked, it matters who started the attacks. In the case of this forum, that is easily seen, to anyone who takes the time to look without prejudice.
So your reminder is not necessary, as I always bear in mind, that I am no different to anyone else, we are all human beings.
