Hardly a "general consensus". I shall remind you that I was reply to an
apparent call for revenge. Not speaking about these issue here, or even at
our coffee breaks, will solve nothing. If people do not want to read about
it, I urge them not to read the messages with associated headers, not to buy
a newspaper or switch on the TV. It is our very right to talk about these
issues and others that the perpetrators of yesterdays act would like to be
taken away. I would positively encourage objective debate of the issues
here. I don’t want links to video footage, only debate

to take apart what you have written above, but I will not.
