Middle East

I post in too much of a varied manner to even consider being host. I don't know what hosts do, but simply using alert for unwelcome posts would be the equivalent of everyone being a host?

I tend to post news reports for the most part, and often do not want to stick around for the discussion that follows, because it would take way too much of my time to refute with other reports that I have to find, some of the nonsense that follows. I really do not worry about the number of likes - all I really do is communicate to those who shared the Libya threads and to others who seem to have genuine concern for what is going on - i.e. not simply jumping on the anti-imperialist bandwagon.
