You probably didn't read the last 30 postings of that person here
where he insults me a lot. I just drop 1 line and he
starts another war.

So i may not drop 1 line, but he may?

I do not see the logics.

then i comment with hard facts on promises and statements done regarding
the subject without saying that i want to kill that person nor saying that
i want to kick him back to europe where he belongs.

online even more cruel words were used by the person in question.

Do you see the logics of that?

Cursing against me is legal, just dropping 1 line against the person in
question is not?

I did *not* start the escalation cycle. Just read all the postings of
the person in question.

First he attacks my program, when i do not react he starts attacking me.

We have a statement here: "a lunatic can cause more harm than 100 wise men
can fix". That's what happens here IMHO.

Wiseley as i am (or not) i did not react onto all these postings.

Where do i see the protests against *these* postings?

If you treat people, treat them fair.

I didn't say i want to kill someone. I didn't post i want to kick someone
back to europe. I didn't lie about facts.

Here things get measured in 2 ways it seems to me.

Is that fair?
