I would only add that the current spat is being conducted on the padded playground of philosophical engagement rather than in "real world" terms. Bloggers have the luxury of distancing themselves from anyone or any view they see as polluting the waters. But off-playground, in the alley, you don't do a background check on someone who can help you fend off a thug, even if they seem thuggish themselves.<BR/><BR/>Though we regret some of our past alliances (personal or geopolitical), the ultimate result of allegiance to the PC mentality is blind pacifism, a sure route to self-extirpation.leadpbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08957439101293478340noreply@blogger.com
