[Romulus]

Another 'b' word is more apt.

Askel is a one-off, impossible to pigeon-hole and therefore easy to dismiss, according to the lazy or dull-witted. She is also complex, and perverse, frequently combative, and riven with unresolved contradictions. In all of this she differs from most others only in that both her virtues and vices are off-the-scale and more upfront than others dare to be. She's no plaster saint, but she is exquisite, fearless, and blessed with penetrating vision. Her banning is this forum's greatest shame and loss.

I would like you to write my eulogy.

Well said.

I think not. Taliban apologists need go elsewhere. She was (is).

This forum is now better sanitized.

And today was a good day...
