re: #589 Obdicut

Any reason you’re ignoring the very simple explanation in my 565?

And re: # 592

The substance of whether Charles was right or wrong in this post is not at issue any more. I’m making the point, to exactly the wrong crowd, that the tone of this discussion has become nasty and unacceptable. It is not suited to intelligent discussion of current issues. How does using terms like “insane argument,” “a**hole,” “chickensh*t” and “blow me” (don’t know how to asterisk that one away) contribute to an intelligent debate? How is “he’s too busy being upset over an anonymous commenter” anything other than a nasty comment intended to score points? This is more like being on the schoolyard playground.

And, if we’re doing the “why hasn’t he responded to post X” thing, why hasn’t Charles responded to my post #558, where I ask him if he is genuinely grouping my views with that of Pamela Geller since I know her personally? I don’t attribute his not responding to “being too busy criticizing me” or something; he just didn’t respond to me.
