Okay on it's been quite a virtual day! I think we've all gotten along swimmingly, considering the material at hand and how it's usually handled!
Thanks for considering historical considerations, and I do share your concern for oppressive political correctness.
Okay on sweet dreams!
Now, Michael, I never advocated censorship, and it might be considered censorship to bring up Godwin's Law (which is, after all, a big, bad MEME), ya know?
In any case, a discussion about a book which considers premptorily killing people for their beliefs is clearly not covered by Godwin's Law. So there!
Edit: Or, maybe you meant I was trying to end the thread a la Godwin? Nope. You guys are too much fun.
