I assume you engaged in PM's with X and possibly others in CH's camp, but they were of a different tone--one more congenial to you.

E, there was nothing uncongenial in our PMs and almost nothing uncongenial in any of the ones I've exchanged with people on all sides of this subject. I'm sorry if I left you with the perception that I was suggesting otherwise, particularly in your case. I thought we were communicating well.

I was trying to be helpful in my post. As so often happens, that backfired. I was trying to give you a little perspective on this aspect of the issue. That you respond to me with the standard assumption that those who are not on your bandwagon, ideologically pure, are "in CH's camp" demonstrates how badly perspective is needed. There is a big difference between failing to agree with you that CH is a rabid pervert and being in his "camp." I was trying to give you a view of what it's like to be judged by that kind of black and white thinking. Remember how you felt when making your points on the Laundry thread and how you were received. I hope you will try to see how much alike the two scenarios are as you stand on the other side.
