Thanks very much, John

: ever do?
It can definitely seem that way, but I'm not sure its entirely corrent to say so. I'm no fan of sectarianism and unnecessary infighting, and I agree that the left can get a bit 'People's Front of Judea' at times. But I do also think its one of our major strengths that we discuss and disagree amongst ourselves. Its just a question of getting the balance right.
And as I've said, the clear majority response to my article here was a positive one, if you look at numbers that fell on each side of the fence (although that was overshadowed by the fact that the critical voices inevitably had more to say). So there's a lot more agreement than was suggested by the length of the thread and the nature of some of the discussion on it
