I dont see a problem with analysis of this guys post. I am not going to shake off my clothes and run screaming into the night out of fear over this, however.

Discourse is healthy in this area, and thats all this is.

Agreed..

I guess I just have "EOM fatigue".

Things are rolling along fine and ducky until an 'EOM' post shows up. Then all heck breaks loose and the Terror Alert level here on FR goes to Quadruple Red.

If you think about it..the nation is at Yellow Alert. The 'chatter' level has apparently dropped dramatically. Most think we dodged a "conventional" (eg: airplane) attack on Dec 31/Jan 1. Life is good. People are getting back into "normal life" all in all.

Yet, ONE lone "terrorist" creates this level of apparent angst. If we allow that, he gets exactly what he is trying for - to instill terror in people.

I'm not playing his game, though I am indeed interested in what you all think re: the analysis.

Thanks..take care and stay safe.
