Thanks, Damien, for treating me with a dose of my own medicine. Especially
in light of the news posted elsewhere here this morning that "the opposition"
is becoming better and better organized, I think you've got a good point.
There is a serious and significant "culture war" brewing and we're not doing
ourselves any favors by emphasizing the more "outrageous" views of our ideas
and values.
(For the record, this is the first time anyone has leveled the term
"barfsome" at anything I've written . . . a personal milestone of sorts.)
