This harping on LBOers and LBO-talk is beginning to irritate me. You're constantly denouncing everyone else around here as an oil-orc and stooge of Empire, when you know darn well that isn't true. And it's not a one-time thing, it's a constant drumbeat. It's a stigmatizing, accusatory hypermoralism which is more about discipline-and-punish, rather than instruct-and-emancipate.
Critique of positions and strategies is fine. But claiming that LBO-talk indulges in "hate-mongering rhetoric" is bozo.
