Wow look at you two go! Remember PS I said two paragraphs I meant it. Cooper, you weren’t at the meet so I’ll assume my proverbial wisdom, and yes its proverbial didn’t get passed to you.
The internet is short attention span theatre, when you attempt to wite long posts, you lose people. This is only important as a function of your desire to A)make a point and B)convince or enlighten people as to your point. Your willingness to write long posts directly implies your desire to influence others.
I don’t know how long you have been reading this site, but the civility, lack there-of seems to flow in waves. Sometimes PS does go off the deep end, mostly she provides research that the rest of us are far too lazy to do.
I tend to agree with bugs, its not the analysis thats the problem, its the attending lack of civility in discourse.
As to the argument over Alan Gin, RE is more than a bit risky at this point. To not be publicly and loudly saying so is to be either a hypocrite, stupid, or a liar. There are VERY real consequences to what is happening, I know I have lived through them before. When you hear people who have a bully pulpit not using it honestly then you have a right to call them on it. The more mis-leading they are, they more vigorous your call-out should be.
Damn I went over 2 paragraphs, I am such a hypocrite, too stupid to get it right. Besides my whole post was a lie anyway.
