I agree with your comments about his sideswipe at GC. He should have left that out.

I’m willing to give him a pass on a mistake, so long as he admits it was a mistake. That is what sets us apart from the left. They just double down. Schlicter is one of my favorite writers, so I hope he backs off of this remark. He doesn’t have to stand in the corner and flog himself, just admit a small mistake, move forward, keep writing his great columns.

If you called me a bad name, I’d quickly forgive and forget. It would be especially easy to forgive and forget if I knew that you didn’t mean it. The reason it’s hard to forgive the left is because with them it’s always a slip that reveals their true nature and feelings.

Also, it’s entirely possible that KS really dislikes GC and has had bad food there. That is entirely different from elitism. We’re all entitled to our likes and dislikes which doesn’t necessarily make us elitists. I’m not too fond of several fast food places, yet have no problem shopping at Walmart. It’s a matter of what I like and don’t like and what I think is a good value, not a matter of elitism.

I am cool with that — it makes sense. We can all get a little overamped when we snark :) It isn’t like it happens here on FR and certainly *I* have never been guilty of such!!! ;)
