Well, I’m home and I will be pulling an all-nighter possibly. My email box has about 200 CAIR emails. I don’t want to read them, but there’s always the worry that I might miss a death threat. CAIR folks sent them quite a few during the last brouhaha. And that’s the rub. Not opening them means taking the risk that some serious fanatic or freak has sent you the head’s up to something he’s gonna do to me or my family and I might miss it. I know this sounds paranoid, but until you’ve gotten people writing you to say they want to kill you I think it’s hard to grasp the feeling. It aslo makes me feel considerable contempt for the folks at CAIR who always insist that they encourage politeness from their members but must know that so many of them put a terrible face on their cause. I doubt they’re psyched by actual death threats but they must know that their minions do not make for good poster children.
