You should duck your head with that - out of sheer shame. I was engaged in an academic phenomenology of extremism, and those trolls who in their hearts of hearts KNOW that they are extremists, whatever they are prepared to admit to themselves or to others, crawled out of the list woodwork and off of the exi-freedom list to which their carnivorous and cannibalistic gun conversations have long for very good reason been banished, and pack attacked me, like the herdly sheeple they are. Take it back to exi-freedom, troll - and KEEP and BEAR it there, so we won't have to bear it here.
