an astonishing little threadlet...

Is it "pile on Tom" day?

I think you guys are taking it too far. So Tom, like the rest of us, occassionally gets exasperated and frustrated. So he lets loose with a flame now and then.

You guys seem to be accusing him of an intolerance I've never seen in his words.

And this:

Have you ever gotten around to actually reading Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations? No, didn't think so. You don't actually know much about capitalism or economics, what you have is a political ideology and a random collection of ad-hoc factoids you've harvested from the Internet or swallowed from demagogues like Limbaugh that you trot out to try and support your ideology.

...wow, Robert. That's harsh. To accuse Tom of being poorly-read or of not having done his research seems wildly off-the-mark.
