This is why I consider Michael Pugliese an internet troll, not deserving of even minimal courtesy. It's why (in a post which was accidentally on list instead of off list) I recommended to the moderator of the Chomsky list that he kick Pugliese off it. And MP had the nerve to write me plaintively, Did you really say this Carrol. Damn right I did.
I knew perfectly well what Klo's last name was. But the personal identity was quite incidental to the political point being made, and while I wanted to indicate that it was a real person, not a figment of my imagination, I had no desire (as MP usually has) to make it a personal attack.
And Ben Seattle is as worthless a political analyst as is Klo or Pugliese. A pompous windbag.
From Jim's post I would guess that Klo is probably easier to take in person than on a maillist. That may be often the case.
