I respect the time and effort you and Hisham are putting in this little project. I might not agree with the editorial line’s blatant moral relativism and (relative) complacency towards the reigning feodal system, but rest assured that I admire your work and dedication. My comment was a cheap shot, but your apology is greatly appreciated nonetheless. However, I am not about to cave to political correctness and apologize for offending the nationalist touchy-feely crowd. They’re more than happy to think of themselves in collective terms when the stereotypes are positive, so let ‘em realize that it goes both ways. Nationalists are nothing but scum, and if they felt insulted by a derogatory stereotype , then I congratulate myself for making it. Anyway, I’m looking forward to reading the next batch of entries, and I wish you and Hisham a pleasant summer.
Best,

Our apologies, but we should have the essays up today or tomorrow. Both Hisham and I have been without regular Internet access these past few days.

Now where’s your apology for insulting Moroccans?

-Jillian

first of all, your comment is insulting to all the Moroccans. You are one of them I guess.

Second, please consider that our moderators are doing very hard job editing and translating, and Talkmorocco is neither their full time occupation nor their income resource ! in addition that we (the contributors) are having more or less difficulties to respect the deadlines (none of us is a full time blogger as I know).

So just be patient, I am sure you will read the contributions very soon

Best regards
Mahdi.
