Carol--

All I have to do is quote your own words back to you, just as with Teribus. You said: "I suspect, in being given this honor, Rushdie is getting long-due recognition for his services to the UK government in the form of Muslim-baiting."

So..."Rushdie is getting long-due recognition for his services to the UK government in the form of Muslim baiting." That's what that sentence says.

Similarly, you said "You do it for sport" Then, when called on it: "I haven't imputed any particular motives to you on this particular topic". Sorry, I recognize the game--and, as you might be aware, I enjoy pointing out self-contradictions I see.

You're a master of back-pedalling---but, sorry, that's what the sentence says-- in each case.


Still waiting for any evidence that Muslim-baiting is either what Rushdie had in mind or what the UK government had in mind in knighting him.



But I'd also like to welcome you back. You're an excellent debater--and we're not always on opposite sides of the fence.
