Ed, I imagine a man with your intellect, discernment and disgression finds most things condescending. Sorry. Let me add to your knowledge base. Sentences with proper grammar, spelling, and words over 5 letters do not make an "intellectual". No need to feel intimidated by that.
And, since you not only don't know me, you don't have the slightest idea who I am, the insults can't matter. They do reflect on you, rather harshly by the way.
A heartfelt statement. The only embarrassing thing would be if you did agree with me or a more liberal point of view. Any ideology which has you as an advocate needs little else from the other points of view.
If you know a man by his enemys, having you following me around on these boards is the most flattering thing which can happen. I just couldn't face Publius, for instance, if you were a fan.
Sincerely, and
Arf
