It's possible that Stirling was being sarcastic and got banned for it anyway. Ian's been known to ban on minimal cause, unlike me. |

That seems possible. Certainly Stirling has been accused of being a closet Draka. |

I think the odds favor my theory, actually. As I said, Ian bans people for minimal cause, which includes what he and his ilk consider "un-political correctness" -- e.g. support of Israel over Palestine, neoconservatism, and anti-multiculturalism, among other things. It's really a liberal's forum, whereas forums such as DW and Alternia have started mostly as havens for those oppressed by Ian's tyranny. DW is run by a left-moderate who tolerates all political views, as is CB2.0, while Alternia is more of a conservative-minded AH community (or so I've gathered from Alternia emigres on DW; it could just as easily be a moderate/apolitical forum, but it also seems dead as of late). |

Ah, so that's why I never actually post at AH.com. |

I assumed that you've never heard of it until I started bashing it back on Norton. |

I'm very liberal on most issues but I support Israel. I want a two-state solution, but a condition of Israel's recognizing the Palestinian's right to self-determination is the Palestinians extending the same to Israel. Fatah might do so in the future, but hasn't yet fully taken the plunge. Hamas flatly refuses. You can't make peace with people who don't even acknowledge that you legitimately exist. When the Arabs are serious about peace I'll fully support the establishment of an independent Arab state in Gaza and the West Bank. Until then they'll just have to make do with an Arab homeland stretching from Iraq to Morocco, the poor oppressed dears. |

No, your bashing reminded me that it existed. And when I got there, I was surprised to see that I still had an account. |

Mr. Cosmopolitan-Internet man, posting on boards of all colors. He even has membership on the liberal-elitist AH.com. Wait - I do that, too. I'm glad I'm not banhappy like Ian - only he can afford to be that way, him being admin of the largest online AH forum on the net. |

Returning to the original topic: I finished it, and for the most part enjoyed it. The epilogue was confusing (I know it was a advertisement for a sequel, but still), and I think the spy storyline should have gone differently somehow. However, I am intrigued by the world SMS has set up, and I will read the next book. |

For a second I thought you'd written "the world SMG set up" and I was asking myself when Sarah Michelle Gellar started writing alternate history and how come I hadn't heard about it until now. Shows I probably shouldn't read and respond to posts after 1:00 AM. |

There's no wrong time to post in our community. Why, I used to drunk-post back in my drinking days as a youth. But back to SMS... |

God help me, I'd probably read an AH written by Sarah Michelle Gellar. |

SMG's not a dumb girl (choice of spouse notwithstanding). So an AH from her needn't be bad. |
