Come Back, Shane And/Or Helena
Last week I mentioned a post by Arthur Silber. This generated some bickering in comments that made me unhappy for two reasons:
1. I believe most of the disagreement was based on misunderstandings on both sides. I hate seeing people expend energy based on misunderstandings.
2. Even if the disagreements were real and intractable, I disapprove of the general tone from all concerned. As Tom Paine said, moderation in principle is a vice, but moderation in temper is always a virtue. I think that squalid moronic scum-eating pig-mucker was onto something.
For more, see my comment there. I hope others will have more to say (there). I've closed comments to this post.
