wrong Hurley, I read a lot of nonsense without caring about it. How else will one decide if one cares about something, by not reading or listening to the nonsense?

“I don’t care what you think, hurley.”

But clearly you do, otherwise why read what I write? Best to support your assertion with a silent proof of its validity.

The evidence of this show being anti-Israel is subtle but overwhelming.

“It’s not an accusation to be taken lightly, unless of course the accuser is taken lightly, which might well be the case.”

I don’t care what you think, hurley. People in the Jewish community where I reside think differently.

jyder: Your point escapes me. I didn’t claim to invent the word, or the quote (why would I have quoted it?). I just gave a reference to its usage. Tom Bissel used it recently in defence of Jonathan Franzen. It seemed timely, in any case.

I greatly enjoyed the show. Many thanks again.

I hope the moderators will delete the last 6 or so posts. This is a serious topic and if you don’t have anything to contribute don’t post!

How original!

Ben Bradlee used it best:

“You have revealed yourself as a miserable, carping, retromingent vigilante, and I for one am sick of wasting my time communicating with you”
