Jim:

I've found your posts to be informative at times. Your repetitiveness in citing the Soviet screed of the thirties through sixties has dulled your perceptions of the present day. The recent thread going back eighty years to rescue some sense of purpose from the "International Brigades" is not your cause alone, so there are plenty of others seeking some sense of purpose out of bygone eras. All I do is point it out.

As to Israel, you are likewise repetitive and ALWAYS negative. You and your acolytes. You reveal yourselves by your posts, not by those who oppose you, blunt though they may be.

On a different level, you don't acknowledge it, but I've worked hard in my posts to actually talk to you. Look 'em over, I've expressed myself in effin' PARAGRAPHS. And you've responded with 'blasts' Sentences that look like spaghetti. You are spouting, not listening. You lack of self-awareness gives me pause. Your little hangers-on don't have much to say, they are just remoras waiting to feed on the angry scrappers you draw.

I haven't the power to do more than post into these threads. Others have obviously grown tired of the back-and-forth of blame and counter-blame. I try to shed more light than heat, but you repeat yourself ad nauseum.

You also seem to believe in having the last word. You are welcome to it. Unless the last word has a shred of wisdom, it simply reveals intransigence.
