Here is what he had to say in email...
"I stopped accepting comments on my blog, period, because I was getting a lot of spam, and was being hounded by a lunatic who every now and then would post several messages at once. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, and I had no problem with what you wrote on my mid-east piece. Sorry if you felt this was directed at you; it wasn't."
I mention this only for the proverbial "record" - draw your own conclusions.

I would have commented on some of his recent editorials, including the latest one on the LGBT parade in Taipei, but I can't be bothered. The point Cole apparently fails to grasp is simple: the enemy of tolerance is not discrimination, it is the initiation of force - including forced acceptance and other forms of so-called "affirmative action".
Discrimination is itself, in fact, the only effective means of countering discrimination - as I explained in the comments section on this Ozoapbox thread just over a year ago.
