Read what I said again... Especially the word "probably" and then the words "we don't know". Right wing extremist terrorism is much more common than left wing. Al Qaida and right wing extremist terrorism are hugely more common than other types. That's just how it is. I wasn't attacking anyone simply stating facts. Talking about right wing extremist terrorism is way different from attacking the right wing. Hell, I'd be attacking myself for starters since I'm most definitely voting for a right wing party in next year's general election here.

However, for people, whatever their position in the political spectrum, to use it as some sort of platform to espouse and validate their opinions, is utterly revolting. Aaron's views should not be unchallenged, but neither should anyone else's if they're merely being spouted in order to prove that the other view is 'wrong.' I'd like to know about the left winger trying to organise an attack, so don't leave it there, Aaron. We're big boys and girls, we can handle it. While you're telling us about that, Aaron, you can also tell me why criticising your combative stance makes me an 'elitist pig.'

I was wrong to call you an elitist pig, just as it is wrong to use this tragedy, to push any agenda.
