Reply #41: I consider thread-tending a duty

[PurityOfEssence]

One who starts a thread should stand by it and the hubbub it causes; you'll note that this thread developed VERY quickly. My not having responded before the post count got into the thirties was a result of the speed with which people chimed in.

This is specifically taken from the Chris Heinz salon that CarolNYC described, and that should have been fairly obvious from the wording off the original post. See my quote from her thread above and go back and read her thread.

I'll take my lumps and stand by my posts, and when wrong, admit them publicly. After four years of very regular posting here, that should be fairly apparent. He's either changed his mind, playing both sides of the street, or so cavalier and sloppy in his wording about something incredibly serious that his worth as a politician is seriously in question. The latter point is almost indefensible: he said "we" are not against them, and the word "vouchers" was used specifically. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Also, when accusing people of bomb-throwing and running away, take a look at the elapsed time. A few hours are reasonable before chiming back in, don't you think? Some of us work.
