Dismissive phrases? With your use of "enemy agent" (the mother of all "dismissive phrases"), you should be the last person to complain about that.

I beg to differ.

My use of the term "enemy agent" was an admittedly provocative preamble to an 1,143-word argument in which I attempted -- however imperfectly -- to justify the charge.

Raimondo's use of such phrases as "tin-foil hat material" is genuinely dismissive, because he seeks to end all argument by the mere utterance of them.
