Totin' Michael Totten
I have just finished a response to one Michael Totten, who blogs most of the time, I guess, from Lebanon. Anyway, you can read his blog here. He's not a bad writer, but he and I got into a rather snotty tiff regarding a comment I made on his blog last week. I didn't give him a personal heartburn, but used a colloquialism that he may have taken issue with, one that I don't usually (In fact, before this, never) use in referring to arabs: raghead. That's not the way to win friends, but I have no intention of making any arab friends right now. They have done worse with other Americans in the past few years, so excuse me, but my comment was nothing alongside 9/11. His retaliation was not to engage me in civilized debate, or even UNcivilized debate, but to "ban" me from his website. OK, so I apologized, but that didn't even do it. I had to be sneaky and use my AOL identity, go on his website, and let the whole d*** world know that I was apologizing. OK, all done. Now I've done it on my site, and I don't really give a rat's a** if he ever does relent. I'm done going there, but you may if you wish, with my blessings.

Your "thin skin" friend is surplus to your life.I am 73(dob 1932)and have worked in Tunesia and Saudi Arabia (less than 1 year total). The raghead term is very common since World War 2,, and it is a term of endearment/teasing with "real men" of Arab blood. Today, our sissy-men get upset by such terms,, but we can ignore them. Tell me about your flying. Hal
Joe, I'm going to take seriously my responsibility as described in Ezekiel 3:20-21. So hear me out, brother Christian.
Debate on Totten's site gets pretty rough and tumble sometimes. If you had just used the word "raghead" I suspect he would have ignored it, or just given you a warning.
It was what you were ADVOCATING that got you into trouble: "My own opinion is we should kill all the ragheads we can, and then the world will be safer. There is no such thing as coexisting with muslims."
I accept what you said in your apology: "…that's not language I usually use. I was up all night on the net, and tired. Sorry." And I understand that you are hurt that Totten has not fully accepted your apology. But what you advocated is unchristian and unbiblical. As Proverbs 6:16-19 says, among six things that God hates are hands that shed innocent blood and a heart that weaves wicked plots.
Yes, America is at war with Al Qaeda, and some strong, ugly military action is necessary. But genocide of Muslims is not one of them.
One of the previous articles on your web site was a beautiful little parable that talked about God being a silversmith who purifies us with fire. If I may be so bold, perhaps God is using me to hold your feet to the fire over this one, Joe.
But as I said before, I forgive you, brother.
