Not sure what the deal is with tennis balls, raquet balls hurt a whole lot more!

    It wasn’t an insult.

    A sardonic, “you can’t be that silly” passes muster, and is semantics either way.

    I caught your edit and I gotta ask, are you Serbian? I assumed you were just looking for an argument given the tone of your replies but the edit made me think otherwise. You surely can’t have interpreted my initial comments as blaming Serbia (or even Black Hand necessarily) for starting the war right? Because that is not what I was doing.

      No, not Serbian, but I’m nervous about possible misinterpretations of such events, as today these may cause justifying “smaller” crimes to avoid some supposed bigger catastrophe. As that would happen right before WWII.

      My first comment was just that there’s usually no single cause of war, and if FF’s murder and Serbia rejecting one part of the ultimatum were that, then the war would last for a few months after which everyone would apologize to each other and go lick their wounds.
