About tolerating the abuse, the reason I did it was because of LGF/Charles. As the years went by, I identified with him as a “hawkish liberal”. Whatever I didn’t like, I didn’t read. For a long time, I didn’t even read the comments, just the articles. And whatever Charles “sins” were, he’s a bigger man for fixing them.

I’d also mention, and others here will agree, that in the beginning it was more enlightened discussion and less insults and pissing contests.

Also, CL, I’m one of those with pretty set views on the Middle East conflict and I realize I may sound insensitive or hyperbolic. If I’ve ever insulted you, I never meant to. I’m thrilled you’re here and you should know how much you add to the blog. And if you see me being insensitive or hyperbolic, I hope you’ll feel comfy enough to tell me.
