“Vn_survivor, you don’t like the source of the article,not the writer or her periodical,and I can understand that.”
Good.
About the banning.....you’re an inch or so from accusing me of having something to do with it. Wrong. Period. Ask the Mod.
Originally it was intended to go to you since A.Pole was not suspended when I read your statements about the article. I knew I had a similar assessment about Yeltsin from a conservative source (Williamson) and searched around for it. When I found it I ran through the thread because if someone else had sent it I wouldn't. That is when I learned that A.Pole had been suspended.
I never even thought about who asked for it because it seemed so completely divorced from anything written on this thread. For all I knew it was the result of something he said on another thread. Nonetheless,I wanted to express my sincere disappointment with the suspension,so I did by pinging the admin moderator.
Then I went on to the real purpose of my comment which was to give you the information from a source I believed you would find credible. Sorry my slothfulness caused you to think I was somehow implicating you with an action I thought kind of unreasonable,didn't mean to.
Reread everything and am convinced the banning must be something from another thread,there is nothing wrong with anything on this one IMO. Do you know what happened?
Also read up on what Williamson said about the whole thing and let me know if you don't think her assessment is pretty good given the documentation she presents. On the other hand, if you are Bill Clinton or Larry Summers you may have other thoughts.
