Diana, my words were intended for the thread as a whole, and not to you specifically. I'm not familiar with this forum software and so didn't know how to do that. I suppose I could have simply replaced your name with "All" or some such thing.
My only criteria for publishing an article is its potential for interesting (even if enraging) my readers, that it is reasonably well written, and that it not likely to result in my being either sued or arrested.
I enjoy well-written articles that I disagree with, and find that they spark interesting and perhaps even health discussions.
OK. Just checkin'. You should become familiar with us. There are quite a few terrific writers amongst us.
If you'd like to send me an e-mail (click on my name) I know of two other people from another board that are published in their local newspaper Op/Ed sections quite often. Of course, they're both conservative, but I've yet to see them call for anyone's death over an issue, LOL!
