I just don't think "offensiveness" at this level, however, is a reason to delete or ban such articles.


Ken is much more subtle than that. Every now and then he has put his arm warmly around my shoulder and quietly suggested that I might want to let something go. Ken has earned my respect so much that I choose to never debate his decisions (about me). As thread coach I trust his judgement more than my own in the heat of battle.

John,
I for one agree with you, if only for the know thy enemy reason. No he is a scholar, and free speech demands his views be considered too. It would be another thing if this was written by Scott. mike

John,

Just for my curiosity, let me know what you consider to be the far right - a few samples not a complete list. I consider the Falwell religious right, Pat Buchannan, Bill Bennett, 'pure' libretarians, the militia movement and a few others to be far right.

Thanks,
Paul
