<font face="Verdana">Are yo</font>u, Avri, really already fearful of
this list and its interactions? Dont then ever try to be one from a
developing country, seeking to articulate views that dont match the
status quo in global IG today. You wont survive a week over here.
Just a friendly advice in case you ever thought of switching roles

<pre wrap="">Indeed on this list it its you who rules and the rest of us who run scared.
People of my ilk are the voice in the wilderness on this list these days.
I am certainly always nervous about engaging when you are involved.
I do it because I fear fear more than I fear your wrath,
but have no doubt,
I am afraid of your wrath
and the way you wield language.
I hope confessing my fear is not considered an attack.
But please know I will not let you render me
or those of my ilk
invisible.

<pre wrap="">My statement was that you used that argument technique.
I never meant to imply anything about your mentality.
I would consider discussing anyone's mentality inappropriate.
