"Since you addressed this to "All," I suggest you remove the plank from your own eye, and more thoroughly read the thread."

And I'd suggest that you take strong note that my post starts out:

"I think many of you are overreacting to the commentary and vastly misinterpreting it."

When I was in school I was taught that "many," does not mean all. There are some good posts here. I was not refering to them, and I only addressed my post generally to "all," because I didn't see the need to single out anyone in particular. Obviously, I stuck a nerve with you.

You struck a nerve because "All" means "all." You wrote both "all" and "many."

You think your meaning or intentions are clear?

In a thread full of blood libels and religious smears, now including your own, you ought to do better than wade into it as indiscriminately as you did.

Yes, you do have an obligation to be specific and precise.

"In a thread full of blood libels and religious smears, now including your own, you ought to do better than wade into it as indiscriminately as you did."

I have to disagree with you. My post does not attack any religion, nor was I being indiscriminate at who I was targeting my post to. I was making observations about many of the ugly posts contained within, and which I cleary clarified as "many" in my initial post. In short, the post was *directed* to "all," to discuss the *many* ad-hominem attacks. Its not unlike when the President speaks to the nation (all) to discuss a problem caused by certain legislators (many). When he does this, and is subtly refering to the Ted Kennedys, the Rick Santorums do not mistake this as an attack on them.

However, it was my full intention to call out those who rather than intellectually tear apart Krathammer's theories, opted to invoke crude epithets to tear down Krathammer himself. To me, that kind of behavior should be left to the faithful over at Moveon.com and other leftwing outlets. I would hope the fine people here at Free Republic would be a little more intelligent when analyzing articles we take issue with.
