...but I appreciate the perspective you provided, both of Nadin and the journalism behind your blog.

Good insight. It's easy to slip into minimizing fellow posters according to our interactions here. It helps to remember that the majority of what most of us do with our lives occurs outside of whatever politics we participate in.

She is an opinionated arrogant ass, who defended the use of the "c" word when used in an OP, still_one Sep 2017 #9
