I've already addressed Tethys's remarks in an earlier mail. I won't labour 
the point. However, I think it's reasonable, even desirable, to expect from 
people who object to off topic posts on the ground that they are off topic 
that they do not post, or join in with, off topic subjects themselves.

Okay. Point taken on this part.  I don't have a problem with calling people 
who support war "warmongers".  However, I believe you have misunderstood - 
I was not intending to describe anybody who objects to my doing an OT post 
as a warmonger. I would hardly have started off my post with an apology if 
that was the case. However, I can see how it can be interpreted in that way.
