As I stated at the time

I think Gary fired an ill advised broadside because of impatience with one, perhaps two individuals.

The liberals here suffered being likened to Georbels by a conservative that no longer posts here. The conservatives now indure a liberal that invokes Himmler and compares America to Nazi Germany.

Who knows what either of them have in mind but it is easy to form negative perceptions of people that do that.
