I did not "attack" you, I questioned your proficiency in English.  If 
you understood my concern as an "attack" then it seems the deficiency 
extends to reading comprehension as well.  Don't get me wrong, I applaud 
your efforts.  But, if this organization's primary language was German, 
even though I have a rudimentary (conversational) grasp of that 
language, I would not seek to hold office when it is obvious that I am 
not up to the level of communication in German that would be required of 
me.

"The science of jurisprudence regards the state and power as the
ancients regarded fire- namely, as something existing absolutely.
But for history, the state and power are merely phenomena, just as for
modern physics fire is not an element but a phenomenon.

> From this fundamental difference between the view held by history
and that held by jurisprudence, it follows that jurisprudence can tell
minutely how in its opinion power should be constituted and what
power- existing immutably outside time- is, but to history's questions
about the meaning of the mutations of power in time it can answer
nothing."
				     --Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace"
