It took quite a few posts for my viewpoint to sink in that I'm against both sides in 'wars of terror'. And that was probably the most telling assumption of the lot, that to be AGAINST one side you must be FOR the other, and thus the battle lines are drawn.....

On other and -- with apologies to old friends -- more worthwhile groups. It was only the Wagner cross-posting to classical music groups that drew me back, and I don't know how long I'll stay. It's sad to see the same old slime surfacing again here, on what grounds I can't imagine; it stands for everything Tolkien hated, and how anyone who claims even the slightest appreciation of his books could spout it is inconceivable. All credit to you and Oje for standing up to it; I've no doubt there are plenty of others who just don't care to get involved, and perhaps they're right. To seriously support terrorism demands a mental kink impervious to anything so rational as argument or compassion.
