For Gimpy and James
For Gimpy and James: why you called Seascamp "racist" and why you hated him? You know him personally? I think as fellow compatriots you should not talk like that to your fellow VN vets. You're all here just to cite your views but not to fight each other and say names to other members. You're not acting like a galant man. I hope and pray the two of you will be enlightened in god's will.

?Loyalty to a friend or to a benefactor is one trait that is very strong in the Filipino. Do them a little favor and he remembers you to the end of his days. For to the Filipino friendship is sacred and implies mutual help under any circumstances. A friend is expected to come to the aid not only of a personal friend, but also to the latter?s family. A Filipino?s friend is considered a member of the family. And is expected to share it?s tribulations as well as its prosperity and happiness. It is almost unthinkable for the Filipino to betray his friend, and if there be such one, he becomes a marked man; ostracism is the lightest punishment that can be meted out to him.?
Teodoro A. Agoncillo History of the Filipino People, First Edition, 1960. So as to set the record straight, I should not have shared my frustration with PF name calling with my adopted family members in the PI. Given the above reality, they will react and are exceptionally protective of me. I could live there forever in peace and protection simply because I fulfill my part of the friendship agreement, totally. I did not know Nel would react like that until after she had posted so the allegation that she participated in a scam is really out of line. By nature, she is very shy and non-combative so her post even surprised me, but it shouldn?t have. Her three Sons? are the lions at her gate and I have been very generous and helpful to them. So I really hope all this ends right now. Nel did no wrong nor was she running some right wing scam, she was reacting out of cultural background, and that?s all. And yes, both of you put the ?racist? label on me. Perhaps you get in too many fights and in the heat of things don?t recall exactly what was said. I did talk to Tom on the telephone about your ?racist? allegation James and he coached me to be more careful with my choice of words around you. And so I have until very recently. Come on Mr. Gimpy, you nailed my ass for and labeled me a ?racist? for using Negro slang. But I see you don?t slam dunk James for using Negro slang like ?axe?. Maybe I?ll put up comments I get from around the world, including Communist and former Communist countries and then you might just understand why I have become so outraged about the labels and why I will never forget such things. You guys want a bloody fight, fight me, but leave the Pinoy out of it. You don?t want that kind of fight, ever. Itik-Itik, mahal kita mahal and I?m so very sorry I said anything to you about all this. I should know better and please forgive my Gringo ignorance. Scamp

If he/she (or you) do not want a response, I suggest you (or he/she) refrain from posting in such a manner as it appears you (or he/she) may be so inclined either unknowingly or unawareingly appear one is expected? The post you refer to where you say "I nailed your ass"........was a 'one time' occurence and was specifically intended (if my memory serves me right) to show where YOU were as at LEAST as 'guilty' of some of the same behavior that you so artfully claim to be disgusted with in other folks? I have NEVER thought you to be a 'racist', nor will I ever accuse you of such. That particular post you mentioned was what I thought to be 'offensive' and showed little regard for the sensitivity and obvious flagrant nature of that type of 'language' as is applies to folks of 'color'. I have NOT had the opportunity to peruse all the posts that James has made on this site and am therefore not able to recall where I was involved with, or had the chance to read where the word you mentioned was in fact used by James, or what the circumstances were where it may have been used. I have no intention of attempting to 'single' you out for any personal attacks, be it of the 'racist' kind OR any other. And, I would expect the same in return from YOU as well. Have a nice day.

Steve, I find your reference to Nel as he/she completely offensive. Scamp made clear in his post that Nel was a treasured female friend of his from the Philippines by using her name Nel (twice), the pronoun she (five times) and the pronoun her (three times).You completely ignoredhis gentlemanly defense of Nel andhis kindwordsregarding herculture and loyal friendship in your attempt to further discredit his character by inferring with the pronouns he/she that his testimony of her character and her history can't be relied on thus bolstering that ridiculous statement of James that this was some right wing scam. Thepopular use of the word "spin" comes to mind when reading your explanation ofthe original matter.Scamp is aman of great moral character,a truth teller andthose that know himjust don't take kindly to your putting a spin on his wordstrying to cast doubt on his integrityto proveyour politically correctagenda in regard to conservatives in general. The use of the term "folks of color" is an outdated term, considered politically incorrect and demeaning but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one Steve.That's more than you did for Scamp.

Ok Steve, if that's your notion, and mine is this; to stand by Scamp and his precious friend Nel until time shall be no more. I'm thankful for the opportunity to know so much of his history and through him to know some of Nels. His character, his intellect, his willingness to share his thoughts and lessons learned from his work and life experience have all beenvaluable gifts to all that have opened their hearts to know him.

Well, I guess I would have to see the post where James and Gimp called him a racist.
Have never met or talked to James, but am looking forward to it next April. Steve and I spent the better part of 45 minutes on the phone yesterday and it felt like we had known each other for years. I would like to see the post. Trav

Trav...
I remember Steve chastising Scamp for using a wordthat Steve felt showed Scamp to be less than sensitive to what Steve terms "folks of color". I can't find the post right now and don't have the patience to look for it. I pointed out to Steve that if I wanted to make a mountain out of mole hill as he did with Scamp his term "folks of color" would be where I could start as it is considered demeaning and politically incorrect. I could assume as he did with Scamp that he was being insensitive. Butbecause I've taken the time to know Steve's history (born and raised in the south)I knowhe believed he was being exceedingly polite to use the phrase.I see thiswhole issue over a wordas anexample of politically correct speech going over the top and attacking a man's character to prove a political point. Stevehas made it clear that he believes the "new"RepublicanPartyand the "compassionate conservative" was morphedfrom acoalition ofDixiecrat's and Republicansbrought together by none otherRonald Reaganand is wholly responsible for all the social ills of this country includinggay bashing and racism. And of course those of us that vote Republican are either guilty by association or just to stupid to understand the issues. This is where the issue of racism comes in from post like the one below. Steve's opinion of all of us to the right of his politics is summed up in this post. This is not a politcal statement this is an attack on the character of every Republican that post on this site. I know the answer to this post of minewill bethat he didn't single out any individual but that dog won't hunt with me. Steve can't label the whole Republican party racist and then say he didn't mean me or Scamp or Griz or Scout or Harvey Britt or every mother's son and daughter that has voted for the Republican party since Ronald Reagan came into office.

I don't understand the tone of your post Trav as I've always encouraged you guys to get to know each other as real time people. My memory is very clear oftelling you back channelof Steve's historyas a veterans advocate and histime in Vietnam. I also mentioned the fact that inspite of his own pain he went to AL to carry Frank to his final resting place. I disagree strongly with Steve on some of his politics but not all. I'm probably more to the left of most Republicans when it comestothe distribution of tax dollars. Steve and I have encouraged each other in the support of our veterans multiple times over. And as a matter of fact it pains me deeply to be at odds with him or any veteran on this site because of the respect I have for their service. Although it doesn't seem tobother them at all when they get crossways with me. Arrow>>>>>>>> Sheet & Hood
