Who fed you that bizarre alphabet WLD?! I'm afraid the rest of that post lacked your usual coherence, but the broad thrust was clear enough and it was surely based it on some misreadings?

Could you give any examples of CarolC's "ferocious illiberality" in this thread, for instance, or show where she got stuck into anyone for recoiling in horror from the Somalia atrocity? I think when you look you will find that she went only for those who attacked her because she challenged (in perfectly reasonable terms) a sweeping generalisation by Bee.

But what marvellously thought-provoking contributions from jimmyt! By reading between the lines, I begin to see his answer: nuke the muslims!!! Carol C, I'm not here often enough to know what, if anything, lies behind the hostility evident in this thread, but (again) I salute your patience in fending off some woefully misguided criticisms.

[Thanks Big Mick, for tidying up my previous post and for the generous response.]
