I'm going to take this to PM, where I should have earlier.

To be fair, I didn't suggest it. I said it could work in a precise and surgical way. The only person in my opinion who would morally eligible to be subjected to my treatment is Osama bin Laden himself (assuming he actually IS the responsible party). Be glad there aren't more people seeking employment in the information extraction business. And people think abortion is a slippery slope. This is sheet ice at 100% grade.

Here is what I just PMed you and what you would not accept in private: Hi, One of things I'd originally said to you was that I'd always found you to be thoughtful. I had enjoyed that about you, whether or not we agreed on a particular point. Lately, though, I've been struck by a number of posts (a few in which you called Bonuss "a gaping c*nt" and which I reported to SI) where your aggressiveness outweighs the thoughtfulness. This saddens me, as you're so bright and have always been fun to read. Look, I know this is a really shitty time for all of us and everybody's losing it on a regular basis, myself included. I see so much namecalling, fingerpointing and chestbeating now on SI and I can't help but wonder that, other than serving to vent frustration and grief, what good it does. I probably should have made this a PM in the first place, and for that I apologize. Now, bland, are you going to apologize publicly for your insult to Bonuss?
