And what does that mean? Merely that this is an engaging topic on which many people have an opinion that they wish to express. Have you read all the posts? I have, and if you had, you would've seen that there are a broad and fairly evenly spread set of independant views expressed here.
For the most part, the discussion has been a level-headed and fair debate of the the incident and the facts surrounding it. Frankly, given the sensitive nature of the underlying Palestinian/Israeli divide, I have been proud if the mature manner in which most Subsim members have conducted themselves. This is an open discussion, and I for one, am happy to have a chance to sample honest opinions and viewpoints from all parties - especially considering the global nature of the Subsim commuity.
Of course there is a small minority of posters who seem bent on inflamitory remarks, but at least one agitator will be found in any community, large or small, in which civilized poeple try to have a rational debate. The majority of us, however have conducted ourselves with restraint and fairness in the interests of an honest discussion.
Again, I for one am proad of the level of maturity displayed by the bulk of the Subsim members in this thread, and look forward to hearing more, and varied, opinions and viewpoints. A frank and earnest discussion is always a good thing.
