To be fair - Dan did NOT write the opening paragraph. Granted, it was over the top and a bit too much, the writer at C4P drafted the intro paragraph - Dan’s actual comments were fair, reasonable and probably much more to your desire for “fair & balanced” commentary.
I suppose in any group of people there are some who lack basic good decency, and that includes the C4P group.
I'm really not much of a fan of that "fair and balanced" baloney. Just that the insults in the C4P opening were execptionally low-class. I enjoy biased commentary, as long as it's clearly written, and either points to (or avoids pointing to!) supporting authority.
