re: #583 avanti

How about dog piling me for a bit, KT is just one against many. You may not agree with him, but he’s a important part of the lively discussion on here.

Avanti, don’t take this the wrong way, but butt out of anything I have to say to KT.

I am very fond of KT. I admire him, I read his links.

However, he also has a few tics that worry me. 1) His recent kick of insisting that every bit of strangeness is “conservative” or “GOP”; to say nothing of his increasing (erroneous) conviction that Ron Paul (?!) is the new leader of the GOP. I note that Ross Perot was exposed as a nut the first time he ran, and did even worse the next time, and I expect exactly the same fate to overtake RP. 2) His recent displays of what I can only describe as paranoia (he deliberately provokes a reaction with broad based slurs, then cries that he is being persecuted - which he is not). 3) His increasing martyr complex, displayed very clearly on this thread and his remark to Kate McClaren.
