I completely disagree with the direction of this thread that this was some sort of hit piece by Cirt on Santorum. When this started I re-read the article and found it neutral and presenting Santorum's reaction to the situation in a reasonable and thoughtful manner. Dan Savage is certainly playing activist here - the claim that Cirt was is not supported, and not in good faith. -- -george william herbert george.herb...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
