Well worth considering. I do have a further counterpoint, though:

Ahem. Allow me to rebut:

Well, I was thinking we should follow the precdent Obama set by not investigating Bush’s war crimes, but hey, if you want to pursue justice no matter where it lies, I’m good with it! Let’s get those waterboarding bastards that you’re no doubt certain escaped punishment for their sins.

Many writers have used a stenographer. They are still considered to be the author of the piece. The historical Jesus is presumed (inasmuch as anyone is presumed to be the author of a work of such antiquity—given that we’ve got arguments over whether Shakespeare wrote his own plays, we’re never going to get a definite…

No, he’s arguing that the federal government has broad powers under our current interpretation of the Constitution to make laws governing commerce. If California is making a law about auto emissions standards that has an effect on interstate commerce (which they are, because as others have pointed out, they’re a…

We have gradually moved from “being cartoonishly evil is not a disqualification for being a Republican” to “being cartoonishly evil is a qualification for being a Republican” to “being cartoonishly evil is the only qualification necessary to be a Republican”. And I’m not sure we haven’t actually moved on to “not being…

Hey now! They are not after tax cuts! That is a disreputable and provably false libel, sir!

You have an excellent point--the corruption within the Republican Party is far deeper and goes much further back than Trump, and a lot of Republicans should wind up in jail by the end of this. Let’s bring down the whole rotten bunch, shall we?

Hey, if he’s one of the Jesusy guys who actually reads the damn book and follows the bits about humility, charity and kindness instead of the one fucking sentence about hating gay people that Jesus didn’t write, well... there are worse things to do. :)

Retaliatory doxxing would be instantly met with calls for civility from the right. After all, can’t we have differing opinions without hostility following us at every turn?

There’s a lot of stuff that’s always been problematic about Whedon and his work, but he always made sure to tell everyone who sat still for thirty seconds how feminist he was (including, apparently, telling his wife that he always hung out with younger women because he was just so feminist that he couldn’t handle…

Pedophilia is an ongoing theme for him because he was molested as a child. He’s been pretty outspoken about it, about the toll it took on him, and about the way that it can warp a person’s life. Make no mistake, this was a hit job on someone speaking out against the culture of sexual abuse in Hollywood.

I too think about this article.

“McClotskey’s in a mental institution. Ever since Reagan fired the air traffic controllers, he’s been completely senile.”

Yes, that’s why he had so many members of his administration convicted of federal crimes. Because of the smartness.

I keep telling people--you don’t get rich by being smarter than everyone else. You get rich by caring more about money than anything else.

Well, when you’re proud of being scum, it is a lot harder to insult you. Truly, sir, your nihilistic contempt for your fellow human beings has provided you with one comfort in life--nobody will ever be able to injure you with scorn!

Well, there’s that investigation he asked for.

Yes, I think that not being bothered by being called a sociopathic asshole is behavior attributable to being a sociopathic asshole. Thank you for confirming my opinion of you.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but if this is how you respond to someone young and desperate being cheated out of their money, you’re a sociopathic asshole who should never interact with other human beings.
