25. Hi Dan. Don't know if you remember our exchange a while back about 1A auditors...

Sep 25

It ended on a civil note and with me wondering why I enjoyed arguing (not prickly arguing) with you, even though we didn't agree. I've read yr posts on Gaza/Israel/Lebanon. They don't offend me, but I doubt we'd go more than a few posts before we mutually realised our views are incompatible and we'd sneer at each other a lot and you'd maybe call me a Hamas supporter and I'd go *pfft* and call you a Kahanist. I steer clear of the issue in GD because I've realised that DUers that I think are total ignoramuses on that one issue are the same people who I agree with totally when it comes to just about everything else, with clearly the most pressing issue now being making sure Kamala Harris wins the election and sends the Trumpenfuhrer to obscurity. If ever you do want to have a bit of an argument about the I/P conflict, I've been a resident of the I/P forum since November 2002, and would welcome a buzzword-free discussion in a quieter environment.

Stay safe and well, and know that most Australians are hoping that Harris and Walz win this election. I'm following it much more closely than I have any previous US election...
