We haven't had any Battleships on active duty for well over a decade.
So, while your bias may have some basis, you might want to avoid invalidating your stance by using language that is inflammatory more than it is factual.

Hi Spikey:
I only care from the perspective of our (as an online community) using language that facilitates some kind of meaningful exchange of ideas and perspective.
I understand that some (significant?) percentage of the posters here either don't care about accuracy or interchange...or are only interested in raising the emotional temperature of the people who might oppose the message written...perhaps only for entertainment value.
In this case, having seen a number of previous posts from the contributor in question, I felt that he/she really feels that the Gazan people have been wronged by the Israelis - so wanted to suggest that slightly different language be used to make the point.
Not important likely (my opinion), but tendered nonetheless.

Hi there Master:
So, again, exactly how many kids have starved to death in Gaza since the blockade began?
Please give us a number, and quote your source(s).
I am not claiming (as per my previous post) that Israel has not gone too far in its blockade...in terms of the restrictions of types of goods embargoed.
But please support your idea that kids in Gaza have starved to death as a result...
NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HST CSG) deployed May 21 for a six-month deployment, to the 5th and 6th fleet areas of operations, in support of maritime security operations.
