mousethief (Alex)does not post as often as he once did, due to changes in daily life, but he was/is a thoughtful, honest person with a wide variety of interests... whose opinions are his own, and who never hid from anyone. His world and life are quite different from mine, but I repect him and was appalled at some of the abuse he got for his views. I do NOT respect the coward(s) who threatened him, and incidents like that are part of why I enter these debates occasionally.
