Wonk, I hope you'll return. I think your politics are childish and indefensible, your argumentative style churlish, your attitude selfish and intolerant, and your sense of proportion lacking. Those things aside, you are intelligent, well spoken, entertaining, and I've always enjoyed your posts, this past week being no exception. I'd have several beers with you (and I'd likely have to drink yours, too, I suspect.) I know you disagree, but what you ascribe to political chill, I chalk up to personal misunderstanding amongst friends, and, while one is unforgivable, the other is a passing fart. Please put all of this behind us. Only you can do that.

Bilmore, I think your attitude is superior and arrogant, you engage in conclusion-jumping of brobdignagian proportions, and your politics reflect the self-satisfied attitude of one who has managed to gain success through a combination of hard work and some measure of good luck.
You are famous for making value judgments based upon less than complete information, and frequently, you champion posters in a manner that makes whatever disagreement that the poster might be having with another seem far worse than in fact it is.
All that being said, I frequently enjoy reading what you have to offer and often consider my opinions in light of your posts, sort of as a sanity check. I would have a few beers with you, as well, preferably over an old John Prine record.
As far as I'm concerned, this was all behind RT and I long before it got enmeshed with other conflicts and turned into a major spectacle. Therefore, you old fart, I am happy to consider the matter at an end.
