I think Jack has made a laudible effort to rein in his harshest attacks; I had to stop reading Jack for awhile when the personally-directed stuff got really bad. I welcome the refreshing improvement and just wanted to give a little credit here for that.

Why is it that people of a certain political stripe always seem to think that every single communication that takes place online seeks or needs to be an "argument"? Have you overdosed on Stefan Molyneux videos or something? And if you feel targeted, that's not my problem. I wasn't even thinking of you.

By the way, just FYI, you know your response to my comment? Turns out... IT'S NOT AN ARGUMENT!!! Oooh! I DESTROYED you! You're REKT fam!!! 100++++!!! [/s]

But seriously, Elvis. "Not an argument" isn't exactly a lacerating insult when the person you're addressing isn't trying to make an argument. Just for future reference. Think on.
