It's especially hard to tell online. I'm not even convinced you're being honest now. You've got me convinced that you're just a crass dude who is backpedaling because he realizes that he's made himself look like a jerk.
I do understand Jacog's and Snorkle's input on Jat's statement about the population of Iraq. You have all right to question him when he posts offensive posts like that.
The Jat that I know somewhat is a caring, nice guy and although he sometimes says things I don't approve of I think he's a good guy and I like him. I haven't gotten around to post a reply to the colonisation stupidity but that certainly is something I don't agree with.
