Didn't even read them. Don't have time right now. Agreement isn't the point. Neither is disagreement.

The issue in my mind is civil discourse.

Summarily rejecting someone who doesn't conform to one's point of view is par for the course on the Internet, unfortunately.

Summarily rejecting a journalist who has a good track record while writing for a respectable publication raises eyebrows.

Attacking a fellow poster for posting an essay by a journalist with a good track record who writes for a respectable publication raises red flags.
