a crime network including journalists, academics, political party leaders, civil society figures, former and possibly current army officers, including generals, seeking to cause chaos in Turkey and lead to a coup -

I think you should speak only for yourself Keith.. Everybody has the right to post their perspective here without being ostracized. That's what we've been fighting for, right?

Excuse me, but I think you are jumping on Keith. He did not say anything negative. You have filled in any blanks with what you "think" he means.

I don't think my message was offensive to Keith and he can clarify his post if the sarcasm was accidental and then I can take back what I said.

No need to get dramatic. We are talking about alleged "taking sides" here. And I think I am rather objective!
