What you don't get is that some people and ideas deserve nothing but
scorn and denigration. I think your problem is you don't seem to know
who deserves praise and who should be denigrated. For example you praise
Gummer and denigrate Ed. See, you have that backwards.

You are right. I do not think that people should be denigrated in
the snide way that Ed does it. If the ideas are bad, then argue how
the ideas are bad, do not make jokes about necrophilia. Or refer to
Gunner as Gummer, as you do.
It just shows you as being a small minded person.

Now how about showing me where I praised Gunner. I might have said
that at least he does post about metalworking some of the time, but do
not think you will find where I praised him. But calling Ed out for
making remarks about people instead of remarks about why their ideas
are wrong seems reasonable to me.
