As there are many participants from the US, it should be understood that
we have no basic quarrel with genocide or lynching...

I am not sure what you mean here Neil but I for one DO have a problem with
genocide and lynching!

Don't worry, Neil was being ironic. He objects just as you and I do.

As do I, but as a citizen of a country that has lynched many people (even
within my lifetime) and does nothing in the face of on-going genocide in
various parts of the world, I am forced to recognize the truth about our
cultural values.

I've noticed an increase in spam email, too. An order of magnitude!
Altho I've got 2 or 3 spam filters on my email (depending on the
address) that send the spam to /dev/null, I always check the count,
just out of curiousity. "debora????" has been incredibly prolific
trying to push scam stocks the past week or so.

Monday morning I had over 150 spam email (fortunately, sent to /dev/null)
Even then, 3-5 still got thru 3 layers of filters!

Think Cloudmark. When I get the occasional spam, I block it. Cloudmark reports
back to its server and that spammer gets blocked from *all* user's inboxes.
Since I've signed up, I get on average 6 spam mails a day; at least 5 of the 6
are properly identified as spam and maybe 1 message a day slips though. As for
the hundreds of spam messages the average user seems to get every day, I don't
even download them... I assume because of the Cloudmark database.

This was the only filter I found that was able to nuke those sneaky little gifs
that sell Viagra, etc. Now my only message rules are those distributing my
email to various folders.

As an added plus, I don't get phishing messages any more, either.

I get absolutely no spam email to my home email address. I get maybe 1 spam
email to my work email address every 4 weeks. I have no filters in place.Why
do you guys get so much?

Posting with an unmunged email address will do it... So will having your
email address listed in your contact info for a domain... I probably get
200 or so spam emails a day to my main email account... Probably another
100 to an account that I never use...

Is it just me, or is there a full moon out or something?!?!

In all fairness, I have to admit that it was Mike's torrent of vapid
personal taunts that seems to have ignited (or at least accelerated) the
current firestorm. Such posts discredit him and his cause, and I wish he'd
cut it out or join the other side.

But regardless of the trigger, the recent squabbles and insults are in a
completely different moral universe from Grumman's advocacy of the literal
extermination of Muslims, and his threat to lynch US Muslims himself with
his "truck and chain".

More than anything else in this conversation, Grumman's remarks (and the
various reactions and non-reactions to them) reveal the true nature of this
country's cultural divide.

Ironically, they don't seem to help reveal the true nature of the "enemy's"
cultural divide. People such as him don't seem to recognize that the exact
same variation in values exists in other countries and cultures. That it's
simply not true that every Muslim is out for blood, just as it's not true
that every American is out for blood.

It's like the dog barking at the mirror, who just doesn't get that the fear
and aggression he's seeing is just himself.

Well put.
