When people who *agree* with many of his positions are criticizing him, then he should at least consider it. I've tried to explain that what he does (distortions, inacurate characterizations, over-generalizations, over-playing facts, etc.) harms his stance more than it helps it, but he fails to listen to that. Apparantly he doesn't realize that presenting an intelligent person with good facts that are not decorated with exagerations and inflaming material is far more likely to convince the person than presenting exagerations and inflaming material. Posting exagerations and inflaming materials only convinces the intelligent reader that the facts enclosed are probably poor and should be taken with a very large grain of salt. Either he doesn't believe the advice given to him by myself and many others, or he doesn't think that the people on the list are intelligent. Either assumption, IMO, is fatal to the positions he is arguing. Michael Harney [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
