    Dear Salon writers,

    I have been away a bit, and was looking forward

    to checking in here and see what people are discussing.

    I'm dismayed to find the flamers destroying this forum.

    Salon staff, could you discuss with us what steps you are considering to deal with this problem?

    Could we find a way to corral certain writers or certain types of letters into one pen, so to speak? so the rest of us could continue an interesting exchange of diverse opinions

    marked by consideration, civility, and honest desire for true dialogue?

    Thank you.

    cahcap

    ps: Re the subject, Michelle was intelligent, inspiring, disciplined, warm-hearted and articulate, in my opinion.

    She thus inspired such a desperate push-back by racists.
