I genuinely no longer have the slightest idea how to talk with you in a reasonable way, Nadine. Whatever I say, becomes for you an occasion to get angry.

Addressing the actual content of articles whose opinions are opposed to your own would go a long way, instead of a) ignoring the content and attacking the author (as you do with Sullivan, Warren, etc) or b) ignoring the content and claiming that the style alone renders the message out-of-bounds: "change of subject", "gotcha", "uncivil" "labeling opponents" "name-calling", etc. It's a wonderful way to avoid ever having to answer an opposing argument; you can just complain of your injuries instead.
