No, I did not (ask him), but if someone likes he/she can have it. But as I
conclude from Jeffrey's post to the list it would have been futile anyway.

Furthermore you are misquoting me again. I didn't say that I *would* do but
told you I was thinking about if I should do, but I decided to wait for
Jeffrey's answer, having expected that he's another kind of
online-journalist than you are. Instead of paraphrasing someone else you
should learn how to copy&paste to avoid falsification.

I have only critisized him for calling someone a crypto-fascist without
telling his readers why, missing to give any additional information, which
is precisely the reason that makes it so difficult to use the information
this kind of journalism gives to convince people

a. to go to the elections
b. to vote for progressive/left parties

It's the non-voters who have brought Bush into power and will get Stoiber
from Munich to Berlin. Then conservative America won't see a hesitating
German government in the upcoming war against Iraq.
