I assumed it was a pseudo. My bad.
My message was neither diversion nor guilt trip. Only based on the (false)
assumption that the handle was a pseudo chosen in admiration of Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, I was de-bunking his fame.
Of course if it is your real name then this point is moot.

I did not insinuate anything like this. My comments were definitely not directed
at you, but at Charles Augustus who I see as despicable bastard. Which of course
has nothing to do with your person if you happen to have the same name.

Courage, on the usenet? meh.
About those posts: English is not my 1st language and I can't quite tell whether
it is simple racism, or some kind of attempt at 2nd degree humor by challenging
the heavily political correctness ambient culture.
If it is such an attempt, then IMO it is not in the best taste, and very dubious
execution at minimum. But to a small extent I can see the point of poking the
politikorrect Gestapo in the eye. Better taste wouldn't hurt, though. (being
understood that I am nobody's nanny...)
If it was simple racism, then of course it would be despicable. But somehow I am
not convinced that this is all there is to it. I hope I'm not completely wrong.
Some of Byker's posts in 2005 on the civil war in Liberia where quite hilarious.
Now I can fully see why other people would not want to look beyond the face
value and stop there, even be offended. Plonk filters are their friend.
