I concur 100% w/ your take on the Tims' contributions. Starting and pursuing conversations is intrinsic to democracy and to blogging -- what the Tims (and you) are doing is just that. Any thoughtful contribution toward facilitating fruitful exchange of ideas is welcome. At times it's an act of courage. Meanwhile, calling names and threatening them *is* censorship, it's not "free speech", not more than beating people up is self expression. Thanks for caring articulately. James,

Thanks for caring articulately.
