		<description>Actually, no, it&#039;s not since, way ahead of schedule, Wayne provides another example of his relentless dishonesty above.  Completely ignoring the actual &lt;i&gt;issue&lt;/i&gt; being discussed here, Wayne takes a swipe at the simple act of commenting, whereupon Ti-Guy has to correct him that that&#039;s &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; what we&#039;re talking about here.

It is &lt;i&gt;exactly&lt;/i&gt; as I described above -- Wayne is simply incapable of arguing honestly and in good faith.  With &lt;i&gt;anyone&lt;/i&gt;.  He perpetually misrepresents the topic, gets towel-snapped for his trouble and, eventually, he&#039;ll apologize for fucking up that badly.  At which point he goes right back to doing it.  Go ahead -- tell me I didn&#039;t &lt;i&gt;exactly&lt;/i&gt; predict his behaviour.

And right about now, one expects Patrick Ross to show up and contribute to the conversation by screaming &quot;Wanda Watkins!&quot; at the top of his lungs.  Wait for it.  You know it&#039;s coming.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;165212&#039;,&#039;CC&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;165212&#039;,&#039;CC&#039;,&#039;Actually, no, it\&#039;s not since, way ahead of schedule, Wayne provides another example of his relentless dishonesty above.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;so I have. Both CC and thwap have nothing of substance to say on this issue, since they are just as guilty of censorship.&lt;/i&gt;

I don&#039;t be believe that true at all.  Editing people&#039;s comments is a lot worse than deleting them.

I would delete, but never edit.  Unless I was out to make you look really bad, Wayne.  That I would do in a heartbeat.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href=&#039;#comment-164997&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Originally Posted By Jon&lt;/a&gt;: Hey balb (may I call you balb?  And what&#039;s with the lowercase leading b?),&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If you hang around you&#039;ll discover we all do that

&lt;blockquote&gt;I will also say that I have always found Greg to be fair and welcoming to a variety of perspectives.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Long ago, and immediately before dropping ThePolitic from the blog roll, I had a discussion with Greg about that.... it didn&#039;t go a long way - it&#039;s his site, he can obviously do what he wants with it but I wouldn&#039;t read or promote the tripe that was appearing there. 

Bigotry, racism, and intolerance masked as Conservatism is still bigotry, racism, and intolerance.

&lt;blockquote&gt;If the quality of discourse has deteriorated, that is too bad, and I will do my best to address that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You might also want to add something biblical to your reading list --- that one about it &lt;i&gt;being easier to fit a camel through the eye of a needle&lt;/i&gt;............. is probably appropriate for that sort of endevour.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;165081&#039;,&#039;stageleft&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;165081&#039;,&#039;stageleft&#039;,&#039;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href=\&#039;#comment-164997\&#039; rel=\&quot;nofollow\&quot;&gt;Originally Posted By Jon&lt;\/a&gt;: Hey balb (may I call you balb?
