As I mentioned to you a couple e-mails ago, I linked to my case against the various conservative bloggers in the article; I've written nearly a dozen pieces to that effect, all of which are linked together originating from the VF piece. My phrasing regarding "deranged" did not indicate that I consider all of those associated with Pajamas Media to be deranged; I don't think Hanson is deranged, for instance, even if I don't agree with him on certain things.

Oh, it won't.  It's been more than 30 years since I was fifteen.  I enjoyed it, but I've moved on.  Being a prick doesn't have the same allure it had when I was in high school.  But that's just me.  

I'll overlook your inability to make the case that Hanson, Whittle, et al. are completely deranged, since we both know you misspoke.  It doesn't bode well for the content and quality of Operation Fuck Everyone, though, does it?

"Yer all completely deranged! Cuz I say so!"  Not much of an argument, is it?

Oh, well.  Maybe it'll succeed, and maybe Obama will pull his head out of his butt and start making really good decisions.

My bad.  I didn't realize that the working title of your Johnson project was "Operation Fuck Everyone."  In other words, you're just another eternal fifteen-year-old stirring shit because it's fun!  I apologize for wasting both our time.
