    Mine is more focused on the irresponsible and nonproductive tone employed by G in much of his writing.

    Utter horseshit.

    What has GG written that is "irresponsible" in a "nonproductive tone"?

    Nada.

    Put another way, what has come from polite, forgiving and laws?-what-laws? commentary from the establishment press? Nothing. What are most of his posts about? They're about incomprehensible (to me) malfeasance and the total immorality of the secure, safe and well-nested elite.

    You object to a "nonproductive tone"? Focus instead on the irresponsible and nonproductive policies that are--for most of us--criminal.

    Good Lord, there's a lot more worth addressing here than tone.

    Christ.

    I'll stop because I'm about to blow my top.
