New Yorker: "A Clear Violation of Obama's Promise"

[merrily]

148. So, you didn't claim the court ruling was an obstacle to reclassification?

Cause a court ruling might well tie someone's hands.

As far as answering people's actual arguments (or their statements, or petulant insults), I almost always do. Did it all over this thread. I am doing it right now, in fact.

I just try not to fall for bedazzling attempts. And at least two posters on this thread seem to rely often on bedazzling as a posting strategy, with side orders of disingenuosness and condescension. And, when they persist, I sometimes finally lose patience with that. Mea culpa.

I don't usually find replying to things people say especially difficult. Especially when a poster has no agenda, rather than employing the "Say Anything" technique. I guess they think they're some kind of message board Secret Service Squad?

But, don't take my word for it. Try it yourself sometime and see how easy it is.
