I'm sorry if you found my remarks vile. I found Marc's comments pretty vile
myself. If I offended you, or anyone in your circle, I sincerely apologize.

Oh - working on the George Bush school of debate now? I find these
remarks at least offensive and bordering on vile. Marc asked for
factual information to support your assertions and you respond with
nothing but a kind of genetic assertion that would belittle Ms.
Rienfenstahl's relatives and paint them as proto-Nazis themselves.

Marc's argument deserves support, not snotty derision.
