Better luck next time.  It did degenerate into quite a food-fight there, didn't it?  It's sad that there is this repeated conflict between pro-left and pro-Israel.  The whole "enemy of my enemy" thing gets really messed up when there is common cause between progressives and nazis.  A very sad state of affairs.  I suppose I have it easier - I may disagree with many of the actions of the state of Israel with respect to Palestinian issues, but as the grandson of a Nazi I don't feel I have the right to publicly criticise them.  It isn't quite "holocaust guilt" - it's more a matter of, if I accept the legacy of my grandfather, then I accept some measure of responsibility for his actions.  Anyway, it seems pointless to get into fights with people like Slim when there are so many more deserving people to get into fights with.  

Anyway, keep up the god work!  One thing though - you might want to moderate what you say about "private email conversations"...it sounds like you plan to be offesive, and more importantly, it just sounds too much like the tiff between Sam Spade and Felonious Monk.  (BTW, feel free to ignore everything I say, I don't really have a clue about anything).   14:41, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
