Hello fellow List member,

my bad styling in words also led to some ugly connotations. For those among
us who are too close to the tragedy, I am repeating from the private post:

 From the answer:
 >> My "disclaimer" ("by the definition a martyr is a person who must be
consciouss of his or her acts")
 >> was there in an attempt to clear out any possibility of connecting my
terminology to the terms of terrorists,
 >> which often consider themselves martyrs for their cause. As somebody
mentioned at the List, the Penn flight
 >> passengers are true martyrs by any definition. And others deserves to
be mentioned as such.
 >> Obviously it is too soon to disscuss such issues at the List, and a
minor part of the thread really emerged
 >> with a museum or museological substance. My fault. I am sorry for the rush.
