I pointedly refused, already, to apologise for the fact that one author can commit so many errors of argumentation in such a short piece of prose writing. Further, I have seen writing almost this bad from the left, but I have never seen anything so atrocious that suckered in so many people from the right. How he works to sucker folks in is very very subtle. You have to watch in action, closely, word by shifty word and phrase by inverted phrase.
I'll try to avoid that. Obviously, it was a painful experience for you, and I'll learn from your mistakes.
