Ianus, you remind me of an Abraham Heschel quote

Reader comment on item: Islamist Turkey Overreaches
in response to reader comment: The Turkish gate-keepers of "truth"

One of the best features of this site is that it identifies the number of words for each posting and yours, at 2747, is more than I can bear to read at this time.

I am sure it's all good and you set everything right and have a very very valid case to vent against Turks, Ataturk, Islam etc. and if you decide to post your story I'll read it immediately.

However, I am too old for what the Oxford Dictionary would describe as "any contest which is futile or purposeless especially ones pursued in a conspicuously aggressive manner" ... so I'll bow out with what Doggett would consider as getting into a fight with a skunk - no one will remember who started it.
