I guess my disenchantment with blogging is obvious for some time now. During the last weeks I went through an intense thought process. It started with a campaign in the mainstream media here against Islam-critical blogs and specifically against the most-read political blog in Germany, Politically Incorrect.
A lot of what a reader from abroad needs to know about the German blogger scene, including my stance on Politically Incorrect, I wrote here already.
After Stefan Herre, the owner of PI received threats following an article in the MSM he considered serious enough to leave the country for a while, I found that enough was enough. I think my blogging efforts are more needed at home than abroad.
The demented "war" between Islam-critical bloggers has strengthened that decision. If an original and unique thinker like the blogger Fjordman is vilified by other Islam-critics among the major bloggers, something stinks. But then, and as far as the German scene is concerned, maybe it was naive to assume that bloggers who range from those who have been moved into action because of the imminent threat to Israel and somewhat grudgingly concede that Germany will have to be saved in the process as well and those who are acting out of exactly the opposite reasons and equally grudgingly concede that Israel will have to be saved together with Germany and the rest of the West, between the Israel-friendly Left and those just stopping short of hating Jews to a self-destructive extent, will ever feel that they have a common cause.
I will by no means delete Roncesvalles and go on publishing the odd brief snippet of information.
I am not quite sure what I will do yet. What I will certainly not do is going on blogging as The Editrix at a new German blog, because most of my friends of various degrees know my real identity anyway, as The Editrix had always been a gimmick and not an attempt at anonymity. Maybe I will start a new blog of my own, maybe I will go on as co-blogger somewhere, should somebody want me.
However, thanks to all the -- considering -- amazingly many who read my blog over the years, most (I hope) sympathetically, some less so. But thanks anyway.

No need to be amazed, Ms Glick!
In yesterday's Jerusalem Post, the usually pre-eminently well informed Caroline Glick writes a longish analysis of the United State's stance regarding the coming "peace" conference hosted by the Americans at Annapolis.
For heaven's sake, do *I* have to tell Ms. Glick that the American's were never friends of Israel? How many times did America mulct Israel of the fruits of their many wars? I am sure Ms. Glick read The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People by John Loftus and Mark Aarons? It is not that what she writes weren't true. I am just amazed that she is amazed. At least that's how she sounds.
Almost two years ago I wrote: "I pray for the man [Ariel Sharon] whose image still shows shades of the young war god who sent the savages flying and whom only treacherous American intervention could keep from victoriously parading through Cairo at the head of his tanks and whose "Sharon Manoeuvre" is taught at war academies all over the world ever since."
He is sorely missed.
