"I think you are very brave to freely think these thoughts and publish them." You are getting me worried - maybe that explains why hardly anyone seems to be responding to my posts lately, apart from yourself. So thanks for the support.. So you think I'm being blacklisted somewhere? Actually I did have a scary exchange a few years back. I posted something (OK, it was "critical") and I received an email from this guy who said I'd go to hell because of my views. At least nothing like that has happened since!
