You tricked me by what appears to have been an insincere politeness into taking your post seriously. You asked a question I thought was sincere, and I went to some trouble to give you a sincere reply. That was a mistake in judgment on my part. If you had read the posts you comment on, you would know that this discussion is about Reagan's pre-Alzheimers life. I asked you to provide me with a post of mine that stepped over the bounds of decent argument so that I could apologize to its recipient, and I note you have failed to do so. The notion that a President of the United States should not be discussed because he is ill is an unusual one. Here is a paragraph of mine posted on October 8. You may have missed it: "I'd like to say here that the man is old and sick, and that he undoubtedly did his duty to America as he understood it, imperfectly, perhaps, but -- in his own way -- with sincerity. He isn't dead, so the past tense feels odd sometimes, which I should acknowledge; and I should say that I have the same sympathy for him now that I have for any sufferer from the slings and arrows of illness and debility. And that these feelings coexist in me with the extremely negative feelings I have about the younger, healthier Reagan." Message 11490626
