It is one thing to realize this behaviour still existing in modern times. It's a completly different affair to legitimize it.

To this I still stand.

For the rest, especially about Georgia, I was indeed wrong.

I remember quite clearly - and in fact have re-read some of the two major threads back then - that I said something very different, but each to his own rewriting of history, and so you to yours. Such stereotypic cliches like you "quote" me with, bare of any embedding contexts, I certainly have not expressed when having refused to jump onto the anti-russian fright-train.
