Your analogy on 75+ is extreme, and I'm sure Pat would nix it in a nano second. Strategies in dealing with barbarians, stick or carrot, is quite another thing.

Analogies usually are extreme, thus the clarity of making them. But how is this one? The bully on the play ground keeps punching the little kids, and every time we stick up for the little kids he throws rocks at us. So let's try walking away and see if that doesn't make the bully like us more. Is PB a babbling idiot? No, I don't think so. Is he an isolationist that has the alarming ability to flip off his moral compass? Yes. PB scares me most when I'm agreeing with him.

Good post. Only Pat scares me when I disagree with him.
