First you act as though I have thrown an obscurity at you.

Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" book series is hardly obscure and has been the subject of a thread here at least once when "The Golden Compass" film premiered in 2007. You sound exactly like the Pullman critics who called him an evil godless son of a bitch, when they recommended that no one view the Golden Compass film.

Second you act wounded that I called you a hater when that is not a fact. Perhaps it was an implication since you did refer to the "hatred" spewed from "that evil son of a bitch" Card.

Many of his detractors have a milder view of his opinions. It sounds like you hate Card, but only you can confirm that. It is at least a gross over-reaction to the film and Card for anyone claiming any degree of moderation. My Gay grandson has a milder opinion.

It sometimes appears that when any subject is broached some liberals can't resist latching on the slightest hint of political incorrectness just to take advantage of an opportunity to appear as a golden haired mensch and defender of social morality.

This is not a Town Hall Robert, we are supposed to be among friends. It would not have been inappropriate to mention the Card controversy as a simple point of interest but you have gone way too far for light conversation.

If you wish to crucify Card start a thread on Flame and I will decide whether or not to participate
