[edit] Re: Hamas

I understand your objections, but I find it helpful when I initially disagree with something to think about it like this: on the one hand, I don't want someone saying something bad about whatever to be featured - on the other hand, showing them saying that that illustrates as much about them as well. So to here, including it isn't necessarily anti-Hamas. I think someone actually left a comment on Talk illustrating the other side of the coin, how Abbas using that language is hypocritical since he preaches the same thing, and so it is clear to the reader that he is just playing politics.

If I were the only person disagreeing with you I might consider the change, but it seems that it makes sense to a few of us that it go there, as I do think he is significant. But whether you agree with me or not, try to look at it from both sides. Cheers, TewfikTalk 07:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments as well, and I hope that we can always keep things cool and dispassionate. TewfikTalk 07:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

It's so kind of you to pass on such positive comments and encouragement. I really do appreciate it a lot. Sometimes I wonder if my contributions here accomplish anything at all, and because it's not paid work and I've encountered so much in the way of equivocation and abuse, I've often thought of scaling back or leaving altogether. But when I get a note like yours, it makes it all worth it, since it reminds that that even the smallest efforts can be seen by some to make a difference. What's that saying about a butterfly who flaps it's wings? ;) Anyway, thanks again. Tiamuttalk 14:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
