    @ david sugarman

    My point is that this discussion can be an honest expression of ideas. I put out my opinions in a straightforward respectful manner. From what I see of c-hammer the point seems to be to stand on the sidelines making smart-ass comments while never really joining the discussion; much like a "bitter" adolescent.

    So though it's noble of you to defend him/her, we disagree about what Salon and it's letter thread is about.

    Actually when I read her/his/its last comment like a petulant teenager - it does make me laugh - so yeah you're right, pretty funny that one, if you're into adolescent humor.
