[ILUG-Social] bonsai kitten

[ILUG-Social] bonsai kitten

The apologize went to everybody. I've probably went too far with my comments
about the bonsai kitten. I thought it was real, and that just drive me in
fury. At the end, it has turn to be just a joke, but probably I'm too
European to get it in first term. Probably the only reason why I believed
was because I've heard that histories about Japan hunting white whales,
Chinese killing exotic animals to make medicines and a few more things that
probably don't have fundament. I know that you shouldn't judge a whole
Continent for a few, so to all of you, my apologizes.

Is that you apologise to me or you're asking me to apologise to you?

Either way, I shouldn't have suggested that you are racist.  I just
felt that your comment about Asia went a bit far.  Sorry.

Kathryn.
