Yep. Checked. I didn't write anywhere that I believed you thought his company had done the right thing (although the distinction between the individual and the company is somewhat lost on me in this case, since Lars has posted a lot in a very personal vein, far more than mere duty would require).
In fact that was my whole point. How do you separate the person from his actions? Especially since in this instance, however respectfully he treats you in person, your traffic is as much a target as anyone else's?
Thirty-odd years ago I had some friends in south London who were involved not merely in outright illegal activities, but who could be extremely violent on occasion. So I know something about being able to look at someone and ignore - let's call them - ethical issues. But then I was never one of their targets. I simply cannot imagine continuing to think of them as friends, if I thought for a moment they were even considering me as such. In fact, it was probably from them that I learned most about what lines one should or should not cross in life.
