And this article contained some extraordinarily poor moral reasoning by LW standards, and was particularly uncharitable to social conservatives, though lack of charity to social conservatives is largely tolerated here.

I'll note that you didn't say I was incorrect, only that I was uncharitable.

Was I uncharitable? Maybe so. If this were some newbie posting, without a bunch of upvotes, or maybe net negative votes, I might not have even bothered to respond, or would have taken a lighter touch.

But it's not some newbie posting. It's a post by a grown up with a zillion karma points, with a large upvote for this particular article. I figure he's a big boy with a big fan club at his back, and they all can take their medicine straight, and need to.

Amidst the cheering throng, I admit to having a something of a John McEnroe moment - "You cannot be serious!" I actually removed a number of even more uncharitable comments. But I stand by the accuracy and fairness of my comments.
