Now i`m not even sure if i can talk proper english anymore.

A second person understands me in exact opposite of what i meaned.

Note that my mention of Nadim.

My message was:

Tom: i like your posts. i feel compassionate with the point you express.
     i think the problem you raise is very real. i`d like to hear more.

Mark: You are wrong by attacking Tom in the way you did. %$&^$% !

They have ideology behind them -- and that makes them _much_ more dangerous.
