But with this many comments, I think most of the arguments have been made, and most of the insults hurled. I know some people will take this as further proof that I’m a grandstanding, hypocritical, pro-censorship, freedom-hating, puppy-kicking, fascist poopyhead. (I.e., I’m turning off the comments now.) I’m therefore going to declare this party over, thank you for coming, and kick you out of my house so I can go to bed. A decade ago, I would have been good for at least three more hours, but as one commenter pointed out, I’m old.
I’ve read them all, and I want to thank those of you who contributed to the conversation, on both sides.
ETA: It’s almost midnight, and there are now close to 400 comments on this post.
