. . . just funnin' . . . pretty good essay.
Though, unrec for going off on the one poster with a 'fuck you.'
I'll admit I've had a blind side to several trolls here (and I'm certainly not saying PS is a troll), but I think that's a really horrible way to converse, even if you strongly disagree with someone. I don't know what history you're looking at with this poster, but I don't think the posting of an article like that deserves a 'fuck you.' and I don't think it deserved the taunt about alerting. NO ONE should be encouraged to engage in that type of discourse (I understand that we're often provoked into those types of reactions) and I think longtime posters (especially ones who have benefited from the comity that makes this place special) need to set a better example.
I also think that there's mo0re than enough posts here with your pov that its a bit heavy-handed to act as if you can't tolerate one article which might disagree with your own pov. Not a big WP fan today.
