"It's kind of amusing, John, the way you post liberal columnists who use very partisan language without even noticing it, but remain so thin-skinned to any use of partisan conservative language, even when it's not being used in a particularly polemical fashion." Some of us find it less than "kind of amusing"... R, The problem with that post was not the "partisan language;" it was the racism in the paragraph I included. If you (or Nadine, for that matter) have a problem with my commenting on the political tones of your posts, we should discuss them. You don't seem to want to argue that issue; rather wish to do a kind of hit and run post. Stick around. Post some of your own stuff; give us all a chance to discuss it. As for pointing out racism in articles, it definitely should be done. It could lead to a debate as to whether that quote was racist, but it definitely should not lead to a comment that no one should point that out.
