It's not a matter of not bothering. I have written out entire responses and deleted them. I don't think David Kanter would appreciate my knack for vicious prose. Whoever you are, you fail to impress. Others who actually have something to offer have always been willing to take up cudgels, whether publicly or privately.

It's not a matter of not bothering. I have written out entire responses and deleted them. I don't think David Kanter would appreciate my knack for vicious prose. Whoever you are, you fail to impress. Others who actually have something to offer have always been willing to take up cudgels, whether publicly or privately.
