I reckon TOC is trying hard to gain credibility and readership. It appears to be striving to be the middle ground, the 'accepted' alternative.
Nothing wrong with that. Fair and square. As a matter of fact I second that
approach. Rather than ranting vulgarities, I prefer using nuances to express my views and feelings with regard to issues broached.
But say, if I were to reply to your comments with Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
and you are playing dual roles of commentator and moderator, would you delete that as well as three subsequent queries on the matter. I'm sure all will agree that if one is not thick skinned, one should not participate in public discourse. Therein lies credibility and principles.
