Hello LindyBill,

I removed your exclusion just now. Funny thing, I have received several PM's expressing the opinion that I may have overreacted. I think that may be possible, but I'm trying to discourage characterizations and this tends to get a little tricky.

Although your particular comment was not directed at Arabs and Muslims, I've often encountered difficulty parsing the sometimes very critical comments aimed at these groups. I try to stand in their shoes as best I can while considering the (justifiable) anger still welling up in our fellow citizens; I find this a difficult balancing act.

Well LB, I hope you can take all this in good spirits and with regard for my effort. I also hope you will see your way clear to continue contributing to the discussions here.

Regards,
