You didn't respond right then and there. They win, you lose.
That's how they will report it; even if you DO respond tomorrow as you said you would.
What I'm observing, is the fact that even if you came up with the most ingenious and truthful reply possible, in their minds they've already won, and your response would be portrayed as petulant at best.
Personally, I believe Tonkin's supplied links are the best reply, and I'd advise using that one.
Eighty-five thousand-plus hits is a phenomenal response! But to think that any serious exchange with these people is counter-productive; because in their inflexible Leftist mindset, they've already won, you're banned from their world, and the subject's closed.
But, what I WOULD suggest is, keep the email exchange, no matter what the replies, and generously spread them throughout the blogosphere! You've earend fame and name recognition, not just on FR - So spread the word!
I regret that you misunderstood what I wrote, so I'll keep trying - like I know you will!
Sir! You are kind. Thanks. Hey -- see comment #112. I did respond to Boyd.
