Mutters: Sobriety also required for reading. Peruse the previous posts & you might (not holding my breath) get the flavour as the discussion developed. As it is the season of goodwill, i'll try, just for you, to be less intellectual. Point is that, working in the ME requires one to be under radar rather than sticking your head up over the sand dunes. Voice criticism on media sites and criticising too pointedly elsewhere places you in the cross hairs for an early exit. Best to take the experience of the "unmentionables' and be "muted" and "afraid". Whole point of this thread.
