She's welcome to live next to me. She'd be welcome at my table anytime.
I do find it a bit sad that the immigration issue has become such an idee fixe in the eyes of some FReepers that they would not offer sanctuary to a woman run out of Europe by the death threats of Islamists and the cowardice of the Dutch. Time, I suggest, for a few deep breaths and a little perspective. Just IMHO.
And a good opinion. However, the kneejerking is cutting both ways now. I didnt know who she was and at a time where illegal immigration fever is high, the post highlighted what we are dealing with. Now that I know who she is, I have tempered my stance. But what I object to is being called ignorant and a troll. What was posted, provided no insight. But the attacks on me and the "ignorant" posters was out of line. I have been around here for a long time, and have never seen FR like this. Last nights speech thread was quite contentious. Im hoping things will settle down, but I doubt it. Calling me ignorant, which I was in the true sense of the word, did nothing but start the flame war again. And you'll note, the one who said it has not responded since, but Im the troll. FR used to be a cool place..
