	I think Mr. Wheeler is over-reacting.  Yes, Mr. Martillo is
narrow-minded in the extreme.  All people are narrow-minded on subjects
they care about.

	Furthermore, I disagree with Mr. Martillo in every regard.  I
regard assimilation as a good thing.  Heritages can be preserved in
musea.  And while I approve of people living according to the styles
that please them, people who too strongly distinguish themselves from
the masses are going to breed resentment and distrust, making themselves
a natural target for discrimination (don't flame at me if you don't like
this -- neither do I, but I believe that is the way it goes).  

	However, let us not 'boycott' (with the 'n' key) someone just
because their opinions are disagreeable.  Martillo has a strong and
novel point of view which he presents skillfully.  I enjoy reading
his submissions even when they gall me.  Unpleasant views should be
debated, not ignored.

Azhrarn
P.S. for Martillo: I was born and raised German.  Furthermore, I
occasionally lust after Jewish MOTAS, so feel free to despise me
to your heart's content.
me to your heart's content.
