[A Jovial Cad]

*Get a grip *

Ah, yes--I quite understand you now. The popular, infamous and oft-used "last shriek on the retreat" by those whom hit "Post" before they consider, with actual thinking, the consequences of their idle, uninformed, and reflexive bloviation has been redeployed once again as a *Deus Ex Machina*. You're certainly not the first to slink away under such circumstances, and I highly doubt you'll be the last.

*I have read enough of his posts to realize that your characterization of him was way off*

So, you *didn't* read the threads that proceeded it, as I suspected (and originally suggested you do). That's good enough for me--'nuff said.
Everyone who has taken the time to read the whole thread now knows where you--and in full contrast, I--stand on the matter *in Toto*. As an outcome to an, err, uh-humm [*cough, cough*] sorta-debate, I am quite satisfied.
Cheers!

Did you mean to say "in total," or "pro tanto?" Inquiring minds want to know.

Like your laughable assertion that the Founding Fathers would have loved political -ahem- "discourse" on our Talk Radio? Let me know when you pick up a history book?
