Tayssir: This is a political discussion list. It's like being in an online bar and kicking it with your comrades. Doug discourages certain types of exchanges, but a variety of tones and posting styles are allowed here.

Now if I were talking to the media--which I've done on numerous occasions--I would talk to them in a different tone of voice. I'm very aware of the frothing, angry activist stereotype and how that plays in the media. I'm not like that when I talk to the media. I'm not even like that when I post to this list. ;-)
