Yep. At least the armchair variety that haunt these parts. :)
Actually, though, you've only run into a handful of shrill antagonists,
most recently Joel, who characterizes a person in the blink
of an eye. At times, it has seemed to me that Joel thinks that anybody
critiquing a political liberal (for example) is a raving Buchananite.
Don't confuse him by eschewing political stereotypes, and he won't
attack. Just my 2 cents from past interactions.
