I guess the remark by Kevin that kicked this whole thing off goes
like this:
Dr_Maturin: Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Now, I don't have the slightest problem with Kevin characterizing
himself as "a moderate, analytical liberal with a moderate,
analytical temperament." After all, that's what he is. Like me,
many others of his readers will have noticed that he kept himself
from advising the fellow to not let the door hit him on the
ass on the way out.
But come on, Kevin, you have to admit it. It was a snarky thing to
say. One might even say immoderate. Nothing to be ashamed of under
the circumstances. The guy who prompted your advice had
(mildly) stormed out of the place.
Still. Your readers will respect you all the more for saying it's
so. A guy's got to speak truth to power, after all. Especially if
it means speaking it to himself.
