Greece not happy with canada over Macedonia name issue

[pankration]

GS, I have of course read many of your posts and quite frankly I don't find them as offensive as others on this forum. The problem is that you express views but rarely offer evidence to support them. Then you get angry and snipe. In fact, the most eloquent you've been is in your latest posts where you complain. I believe that Greeks like everyone else cannot pretend things didn't happen and we can't fall into the trap of being revisionists. But we have a lot to be proud of and I for one will be damned when someone throws bricks without showing me a good reason. GS, you can write, you can think...just make sure that a voiced opinion has support. Free speech may give you the right to voice your opinion but it also gives the members of this forum the right to criticize them. Make sure my friend that you understand all aspects of being a contributor here.

Pankration, is correct once again.

I also want to say something else. Lets not take it upon us to insult Mr. Harper. We may not agree with him, and we know without a doubt this decision was wrong. However, I do not agree that we (including me) should question his integrity. He is a person and Prime Minister of Canada and we should respect that. As our former Prime Minister - late and perhaps greatest, I may add - Pierre Elliot Trudeau taught, we can disagree with the politics, but still respect the person. He has made a terrible error, but do not dehumanize the man. I don't care if the Macedonians and rest of the Greeks are angry, we have to be people of integrity. If you disagree, that is your business, but I will take action if we are awful people and how we express ourselves. Thanks.
