Though that abstention is conditional upon the community that expresses its disapproval of the posting of these same tired topics here being consistent in it, because if I again observe the rampant applauding and cheering on of the killing of civilians in Lebanon (or anywhere else in the ME), the calls to nuke the Middle East, and the deriding of ordinary Arabs as "sand ******s", "camel jockeys", "ragheads" and other such epithets, then I will not be able to remain silent - not if its left unchecked like it was in the past.

And for those who wonder why I single out the ME and Arabs or Muslims, and who would accuse me of bias, then I will reply beforehand that the bias was already here and that if it were any other ethnic or religious group then the bandwagon would not be here with so many aboard it. But if things have really changed here then I'm quite happy to refrain from any such further (endlessly circular and tiresome) discussions.
