Well said Paul and Ditto.
Scott never replies to the criticism. He just posts his agenda thru the words of others with disclaimers but without explanation of just what those disclaimers are. mike

The absurdity of some of the pieces Scott posts in the name of alternative points-of-view, deserved demonstration.

Well, just to get back into combat mode here, the Herman piece hardly matched a rather regular round of off the wall stuff we get from the further right.

But I can support a thread policy that all views, so long as they are stated in a civil manner, can and should be posted. Or else, we have to start fine tuning which essays are acceptable.

Bottom line. Ken does a good job of walking the fence line on what's acceptable and what's not. I disagree with some of his cut points but (a) it's his forum not mine and (b) it works.
