Thank you for your elaborate response.
I ag...Sheri,<br />Thank you for your elaborate response.<br />I agree that one cannot comment about issues one is not aware of at the time of writing an article.<br />I felt that overall your article achieved what you set out as your goal, reporting.<br />However, knowing the nature of the events that led to the conference, one would have expected the employment of a more cautious language. Naturally, since only one point of view was presented, one can expect the interested parties to interpret your article as an endorsement of their agenda even if that was not your intended goal which I personally know it was not.<br />Yes, I am aware of your pursued interest in this subject and many of us, myself included, are waiting with baited breath for your next article.<br />Thank you for your gracious response <3Batzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056074622237861953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395024306618621004.post-56703566116554932102017-11-13T05:56:20.120-08:002017-11-13T05:56:20.120-08:00Thank-you so much for honouring me by writing an a...Thank-you so much for honouring me by writing an article dedicated to my series of articles about the Jordan Is Palestine conference (which I see as being more of a “Mudar for President or Prime Minister of Jordan” Conference). You rightly note that I did not include material that came to light after I had already published my piece -- well, is that not the purpose of later pieces to pick up from where earlier pieces left off? I do not see it as my job to work with hindsight regarding things that have not yet happened. Secondly, I did not want to discuss the issue between Mudar and Khalad at all, and only raised it because Ted did at the conference and Mudar did when I later spoke to him on the phone. Since I was providing as complete a report as I saw possible within the scope of a blog post, I only thought it fair not to totally exclude what they said. I saw no reason to ask Khalad about it because he was not at all the subject of my article -- Mudar was. I am sorry if controversy is not the appropriate word for what happened. But, as I already said, it was not my goal to deal with that, nor with Mudar having been thrown out of Gatestone -- I was writing about a conference and about what makes Mudar think he can run a country. <br /><br />As you know, Batzi, from personal communications between the two of us, I have not stopped examining this particular question and I consider my research in this area to be still ongoing. I cannot write about what I have not yet found out. But I will let you know when I have more to say. <br /><br />Finally, I am not responsible for what other people see or think they see in what I write. I try to write as clearly as possible. If I err, I will re-examine what I have written and correct my errors or state why I believe that I did not err. And if you think I did not give readers a full picture of the conference, well, I did my best. Anything outside the conference I reserve for later treatment in dedicated articles of their own.<br />Sheri Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03120323714786757305noreply@blogger.com
