Saying that only thanks to Jerome you are here and that "rubbish" (you seem to imply) like me drive you out this site is highly insulting by anyone defending a contrary position. Actually I do not think wy defending the osition of the guardian will drive you out of this site...
In any case, I will never fell so self-righteous to want to be out of here just because you or Jerome does not agree with the Guardian.
I am sad...Nothing more to say.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
I wasn't thinking specifically of you at all. Indeed, I actually took you to share my own view: that the drawings are bunk that shouldn't have published in the first place as a matter of editorial restraint, but that freedom of speech implies the right to publish them - a non-negotiable right for which we now must take a stand. I obviously misunderstood you.
I am perfectly entitled to decide where to spend my online time based on congeniality of a community to my own fundamental convictions. Whether you think this "self-righteous" is of no concern to me. The world's northernmost desert wind.
I also had not seen any, as Migeru, a reduction of the congeniality. I normally say it up front if a sense any of these breaks. As in your case I felt it could be.. and I know that it is difficult to express feeling online and difficult to know.. this is why I I try to post and expression of feelings...That was my previous post.
You know, if it would have been any of the people I know in barcelona I would have guessed it was a cheap shot :).. but it was weird coming from you. That is why I asked for clarification...it is reallly dificult to ask for one because you really do not know what's going on before you receive the answer. Sorry if I did not ask for it properly...I just do not know more.
I am sad that you felt that the level of friendship diminished....I did not answer you before so whoever might have gave you that impression (maybe real) think that maybe he/she did not actually meant anything wrong or actually write anything with mala baba.
Take care
