I disagree with almost everything Martillo concludes but I would defend to the death his right to say it. That's not a content-free statement, there are quite a few flamers on the net who I wouldn't be so supportive of, perhaps I'd defend them to the hangnail. It seems to me that several Muslim posters consider his arguments of some worth to respond to, why are you so upset? Because he used the term "vus-vus"? Heck, I've been called worse, tho I admit it adds little or nothing to his oftentimes interesting arguments. At least there are a few people you can run into around here who's arguments don't come down to "does so!" "does not!" "does so!" "does not!"... -Barry Shein, Boston University "I'd rather be right than President" (who said that?)
