Lisa, I admire your (and Shai's) courage. The Guardian commenters are really a zoo (I am aware of an understatement, but this is not my blog, so I have to be civil). I have spent some time there in the last few days, and it is exactly like the GUT (that infamous forum called Guardian Talk) International. Cesspool is the word. At least, do not pay much attention to the comments there, this is the way to remain sane! Best, STG
