A kind word for Skinner, who heartily deserves it. [View all]

He had no obligation to let the Hillary/Bernie wars rage on here. It was clear in March that Hillary would be the nominee. He could have shut it down weeks ago.

He didn't, and I think he deserves a great deal of credit for that.

Skinner, fond as I am of you, I still think Discussionist is... aw, never mind. This is a post to praise not criticize.
