""more abuse from don t.personally Ithought KEITH A WAS REMARKABLY RESTRAINED.""

Thank you Richard. I recall you also were considerably less irascible and opinionated back when I was booking you and enjoying your music.

I'm intrigued! Dope, seems rather innocuous as an epithet for somebody who steadfastly refuses all evidence (not just some, ALL) in his determination to whitewash Israeli oppression of Palestine in general, and Gaza in particular, especially if you compare to some of the things he repeatedly calls me, and which you would have seen if you had read the whole thread.

I could just bow out and say nothing, but I seem to recall others in history being called much worse names for turning a blind eye to oppression from an entirely diffent direction.

I happen to believe it is incumbent on an honest man, not to turn away and pass by on the other side.

Your mileage may vary, though I've heard some very questionable language from you too.

Don T.
