On another board I visit, people suggested that we all visit boards of Muslim/Islam origin. I did so, in order to post messages saying that not all Americans are as hateful as those attacking Arab-Americans discriminately across the US. I was told (on no less than three separate boards), that "I wish you had been in the towers," "Americans are finally realising that they cannot stand tall forever," and "you people are finally getting what has been coming to you for many years." I've been trying since then not to glom on to the easy hatred made available by boards like this, and I have to say your statements have helped. I apparently visited the wrong boards at the wrong time, but I visited this board at the right time. I sincerely hope that you and your fiancee make it through the near future with no more hassles...
