I intended this as a PM to @TX Bill but think it's suitable as a message to any other Americans who may be offended by my constant ribbing of Jozy Altidore and anti-gun stance. This is a genuine attempt to explain things and not a post aiming to wind anyone up or make anyone laugh. So yeah:
Bill,
I can't answer your questions because the thread was locked but I assure you I have no agenda against your country. I don't know why you'd think I do?
It's just that I don't particularly like kids being shot all of the time facilitated by a three hundred year old law that bares no relevance in today's society. And you disagree. We can argue the toss all day, but it doesn't mean I have an agenda against you or your country and I'd never assume that because of this you have one against me or England.
I think Radical Islam and intolerance within middle Eastern countries is a massive problem, even more so than the US which on the whole is one of the world's most tolerant and civil countries. I was just stating that when a country (any country) is involved in so many wars there are bound to be innocents caught in the crossfire - I'm sure the British army kills thousands of innocents every year too, and I say this as someone with numerous family members currently serving.
It's not a vendetta or agenda, and I haven't used any personal insults towards you.
I just don't rate Tim Howard as highly as many of your countrymen and it surprises me the high regard that Jozy Altidore is held in, which is a source of amusement for many. I also laugh at how highly English people (my compatriots) rate Jack Wilshere, Jordan Henderson, Andros Townsend etc. but there's no reason to suggest I dislike this country either.
If you want to start banning people for the sake of banning people as you suggested because you have the power to do so then that's completely your decision.
Thanks.
