To clarify, I've only objected to your dismissal of many of us here as 'not serious' and 'irrelevant' b/c we were insufficiently apologetic over the horrors of the gulag/Saddam's rape rooms, etc. That's a ridiculous argument when it's a Fox anchor. It's baffling when Martin Amis makes it. It's positively demented when a progressive makes it.

Beyond that, I do not regard you as an enemy but as an irritant - and then mainly b/c of your assaulting the list w/ unformatted non-sequitur bibliographies, etc.
