*Yawn* I now return to

*Yawn* I now return to my post, having taken a much deserved rest from all the chaos and blood...or, at least, from reading about it and watching it on television. Not really the same as being there, is it? Nevertheless, even media exposure takes a certain toll on the head and the heart.

Before I set up Astonished Head, I was posting letters to FrontPage, many about Israel. Presumably in response to these letters, I got a few e-mails from a fellow named 'Baldur' who was using an anonymous remailer in Czechoslovakia. The e-mails invited me to visit a site to read some 'fearless commentary' by the editor of said site. Such fearless commentary consists of gems like this:

"The Jews, quite rightly, are afraid of nationalist ideas outside their own race. So they seek to suppress them by means fair and foul. The way the Jew treats the Arab in his country is the way you should treat the Jew in your country, White man."

Apparently, said editor has the courage to be a a racist idiot. And his readers are such brave people that they use anonymous remailers.

I find it discouraging that there are folks in the world who can read what I write and think that I might possibly be interested in ill-reasoned, poorly written racist screeds.

I just got yet another e-mail from this Baldur chap, to whom I say: you, sir, are a cretin and a primitive person who needs a good beating. Please fuck off.
