John, I believe I can honestly say in over 10 years of posting on SI, I've never attempted to toss a person off a thread. I've never banned anyone. And I've never complained to SI regarding a poster I disagreed with. I have on occasion defended other people for being banned, including a few liberals. Thousands of posts and years of posting. That proves I truly am a champion of "diversity of thought". I doubt you could make the same claim. These repeated public posts, pointed toward my posting style with suggestions I should be posting in a certain way amenable to you personally, are ridiculous. Please discuss issues.

My problem with Krauthammer isn't that he has a pov; it's that he's a hysteric. And that particular one has all the marks of the type. The argument simply gets lost. K is also one of the most miserable characters I have ever seen in DC no matter who is in power. Most partisan pundits know how to put a smile on their face and be congenial on a panel before the attacks start both ways. K always looks miserable on camera, like his dog just got run over and he's gonna take it out on the people he is opining about. If nothing in DC ever makes him happy, then he is a masochist for pursuing his chosen profession. I have rarely seen anything by him that wasn't so tinged by bitterness and slant that the potentially valid points weren't buried.
