	Many people think they have a monopoly on the truth. Unless you want
to invoke some sort of personal infallibility clause then this is
probably a less than easily defensible position. 
	I personally find that there are many posts which are full of petty
insults and illogical arguments but I generally try to understand what
is being said or at least why it is being said.  I don't find Karen's
posts any farther from reality then Denis's. I agree with some of what
they say and I disagree with other parts.
	Maybe as a solution to the problem we have now where the poster
decides what to write (and what language to write it in), we could
have a separate (!) group called
alt.qc.politique.only-for-people-who-agree-with-Denis. I notice that
there is at least one thread that seems to have this character
already.
