Ciao<br>
sorry for what maybe seems as an overreaction.<br>
I simply have learned, living in Italy, the hard way to not, abosuletly not, give even a fraction of an inch else certain people take a mile. They appear, with a smile, to be willing to engage an open debate but in reality they are not open, have already made up their minds, and are just waiting for you to lower your pants or drop the soap. I have declared total war against certain "cultural" initiatives and take no prisoners.<br>
<br>
p.s. even if the author wasn't directly responsible for the editor's comments he/she is still responsible! Its not always someone else's fault. Part of the price of being an intellectual is moral responsibility. If not to set some form of example what else are intellectuals good for? <p></p><i></i>
