Mossad?
We had some some interesting (hilarious) remarks about Thinking-East.Net and this blog in one of Registan.net's comments.
It accused me of being a Mossad agent, ostensibly due to the fact that there is an Israeli flag in the header of this blog. Well, let me just state the obvious: There is, not too far away from it (I would say 10 or 20 pixels to the left) also a Palestinian flag, which I thought should be a good header for the stuff that Christopher Schwartz is writing on this blog. He's spent half a year in a co-operative village run by BOTH Palestinians and Israelis. Well, then, dear commenter, there is also part of a Kyrgyz flag, which shall symbolise my part of this weblog, as I spent two months in Kyrgyzstan last summer.
Your baseless allegations are giving me ever more reason to write to my Central Asian friends asking them to write articles for Thinking-East.Net, to give them space to set the records straight. What you're writing is just - excuse my language - utter bullshit; baseless, intimidating, and ridiculous. I know that you can't be serious about the stuff you write. Please be also aware that I removed two of your most contentious comments from Thinking-East.Net; as they were insulting - and even threatening. Don't resort to things like that. Thinking-East is about exchange, not intimidation.
