it’s so soft as to be relatively meaningless. How about “hate literature”? :)
After all, our society calls them “hate groups,” not “polemical groups.” Good
literary warrant.<BR><BR>On 6/19/09 7:39 AM, "Deborah Leslie" <<A

of the things that came up in conversation was that we knew it when we saw it,
