I think we are forgetting that the public space needs to be open to more than one point of view if we are to keep our political culture free and vibrant. I would have thought it irresponsible to suppress alternate perspectives.

There is a difference between strong argument and BԪַlabelling.BԪַ Labelling is a plague in public discourse - both tiresome and unproductive. I was sorry to see Patrick indulge more than once in his letter.
