I haven't been around long enough to know what he's talking about, but it's not true what he said about Doug gloating in America's misfortune. I wouldn't like Doug the way I do if I tasted even a hint of gloat coming from him. And what he said about him "using this situation to do nothing more than grind  [his] usual axes,"  that's simply not true either. Doug has engaged me, opened my eyes a little to the world, provided me with resources for learning, reiterated for me the importance of taking in different view points, and demonstrated how to be tenacious but tolerant. There are no axes grinding there.

Dear Barb, 

I have defended Doug many times. I was quite nasty to some on this list
because I felt they were antagonizing Doug and being cruel, dishonest
even. For what it's worth, don't waste your time. Doug's grinding wheel
never stops Spinning, the headless helves are heaped in the archives.
I'm glad to see Quail back here.
