And another member of the class of 2004 wakes up and melts down.

Whenever I post an article defending myself against an attack from these idiots, this happens.

Huh? Melting down? I’m just talking about intellectual transparency. I think it’s commendable that you corrected the original, inflammatory post, but clearly marking it as revised and showing the revision history is essential to maintaining your credibility. To be clear, I mean your credibility not as a conservative or a liberal or a centrist, but as an intellectual. If you revise your previous writings without properly notating your revisions, you run the risk of eclipsing whatever discourse you are trying to facilitate by appearing as though you are hiding something.
