No Blood for Hubris: Um, This Is Fun

It started as a reasoned and reasonable, if stiff, disagreement about the usefulness of Bob Somerby as a media critic.

As that was wrapping up, I happened to mention that "tremors" of the 2008 primary divisions could be seen in some of the varying opinions about Somerby seen in the broader community and included a couple of quotes illustrating the point.

In reaction, I was what person called, I think fairly, blindsided by an attempt to re-fight those primaries, something I have no interest in doing - particularly since I had no interest in fighting them in the first place. (As soon as $$ allows, my wife and I both want 2L4O t-shirts. Had the primaries turned out differently, we'd be in the market for 2L4C shirts.)

As a result, I lost a reader and now, apparently, am regarded by some not as a radical or a progressive but a "progressive" and perhaps even, that ultimate attempt at insult, a "pwog." Based on a single post and my refusal to get into a debate over the press treatment of Hillary Clinton in 2008.
