Hey Alexander

If my understanding of Noora's point is correct, she felt I was wrong to express as part of a poem I wrote a few days ago, criticism of the Arabic elites. As I understand her comments, I think she wanted to say such criticisms meant I was thus, undermining unity or the potential for unity. So far from 'gaslighting' her or this perspective, I am addressing it as a mark of respect for that viewpoint, in a small part of this article.

I did not delete the comments she left (I presume she herself did) . I also didn't. Nor block her either. She blocked me - which I found really bizarre as for me, such a difference in analysis is not at all significant to merit such an action.

I believe we can have discussions and differences in approach, and indeed that is healthy.

But to block someone merely because they have a different viewpoint really is not.
