Let's hope that wasn't the sound of you going over an edge or something. From your comments it looked more like the end of a rope.

I am oft criticised for getting in the face of extremists but this is an excellent example of why I feel the need to expose the insidiousness of extremism. It is not as innocuous as they would have you believe; it is as extremely degrading and destructive as we suspect it is. If this was the effect it had on you a rational and (somewhat) objective participant in the issue, imagine the ramifications.

We have some people alleging that 911 was an inside job. I doubt it, at least in the sense of the usual conspiracy theory. However, if you look at the tactics of the death cultures you can get a sense of how such extreme bigoted pressure can nudge someone from the other extreme to an edge. I worry about heinous acts of violence in America that are planned and perpetrated by foreign enemies. I also worry about the inside job being perpetrated by bigoted extremists from within. I find both intolerable.
