95. The number of people who are "in love" with me is small.

That's as it should be. I do disagree with some of his ideas and with the way he sometimes expresses them. That's true. But I don't know the person at all. He's another screen name on DU. When I disagree with him, I sometimes say so. He has done the same with things I have written here.

The link you provided is a good example where my disagreement with his style of writing is a good one. I'm not fond of people writing vile insults about the sitting Democratic President. Not fond at all. I disagreed with him in that thread, as I have in others that were similar to it. I disagreed vehemently. I will do so again, if he uses similar tactics when he returns.

That's discussion. As for your quotations, I'm not sure they're really all that relevant.
