   My 'side'?? What makes you divide the world up into sides? Do you see   
   arguments only in terms of tribal factionalism?   
      
   Have you considered that somebody might consider a discussion, or even   
   an argument, on the merits of the case itself - not simply on their   
   previously decided political affiliations?   
      
   I suppose that the answer has to be no. You wouldn't accuse somebody you   
   knew nothing about of being on a particular 'side' and then accuse him   
   of sending you books unless you had a rather peculiar, to be polite,   
   view of the world.   
      
   Do you have any insight into the reasons for your paranoia?   
      
   What puzzles me is where your capital letters have all gone to.
