Will is a wordy weinie. He's not read among this century's conservatives--who have a little more verve. Readers on FR prefer the Malkins, Rushes, Levins, Coulters--the new guys in town.
He patronizes, because his millieu has entrapped him--the millieu where meek Republicans valued collegiality with our overlords over making any progress rightward. He's lost his usefulness. He should stick to writing about the finer points of baseball rules.
I thought you had it all figured out - this is merely the screen name used to deal with you. Or something.
Or maybe some just find such posts too ridiculous to be worthy of a response - personally, I like to insure that such things get the ridicule they deserve. Not that it matters - even after some less-than-gentle prodding on my part, you still can't bring yourself to address the substance of what he says. Why bother, I guess, when it's so much easier to simply complain that he's a patronizing dork, and ignore any question of whether or not he's correct.
But this is an old tactic - let's give credit to the inventor:
Why should we bother to reply to Kautski? He would reply to us, and we would have to reply to his reply. There's no end to that. It will be quite enough for us to announce that Kautski is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything.- V.I. Lenin
