I don’t dominate this blog in the slightest.

I guess that would be yr opinion. But yet it’s my blog so I guess I get to be the judge of whether you’re dominating threads in which you participate.

There are/were many posters

Indeed there are, but none posting as many comments as you on any given day. Not to mention those IN those comment threads who complained about yr behavior. I actually took the lead fr. their comments & didn’t consider placing a limit on you till I read those comments. But they were right about the need to address your verbosity.

I don’t intentionally offend persons. I do speak what I see though.

I would think that you would value that.

No one’s claiming you offended anyone.

I do value yr contribution. I think when you publish 2 comments a day other readers will actually pay more attention to what you say in those comments than they would if you were publishing 10 comments a day, when their eyes would glaze over (eg. “not another Witty comment, ugh!”).

Why don’t you get back to actual substantive comments instead of complaining about how I run the joint.

Censorship is a real issue. I don’t dominate this blog in the slightest.

There are/were many posters, many of them snarky.

Frequency of posting is an investment in your blog. It represents ACTIVE dialog.

If my posts were offensive, then that would not be an investment in your blog but an actual troll.

With the exception of Jewish Voice For Peace. As I think I mentioned here before, I wrote to Obama using the form on whitehouse.gov and told him that if he does not “put utmost pressure on Israel to stop building settlements in Palestinian territory and to tear the existing ones down, and agree to a contiguous Palestinian state. that there will soon be a bloodbath over there like there has never been before and that includes right inside Israel proper. With the Palestinian population about to far outnumber the Israeli population, Israel cannot survive much longer by being an occupier. America’s unconditional support of Israel is also very dangerous to our security. If you fail to change this policy, the situation will become so explosive that it will destroy all of the good things that you plan to do.” At this point I still basically just go along with a two-state solution, but if this isn’t settled soon the Palestinians will no longer be willing to accept that and I won’t either. When I told Obama that “Israel cannot survive much longer by being an occupier,” I also say that Israel must not exist much longer under those terms. I still hope that Obama understands all of this and in the future stand up to pressure from the Israel Lobby better. Richard, I am looking forward to reading your new post about the shameful behavior of the Jewish peace movement.

If there was a campaign, its leaders didn’t bother to contact the Post editorial board.

That, unfortunately, seems to be the definition of mainstream beltway “journalism” these days: sitting on your bum in your office, waiting for the hoi polloi to contact their mouthpiece (you).
