It seems we've scared him off of the comments page, though. I might decide to stop beating the dead horse. Yeah, about his signature, I definitely called him out on that.

And secondly...I don't care if he was able to get an A+ on his anthropology vocab flash cards quiz; if you can't think critically on how they apply, then they're little more than rhetorical ammunition to throw at someone, to show how "educated" that person is.

"I don't care whether he is a pig fucker, just that he denies it."

Some times it takes us a little while to post things, though, so it probably just got posted later than it shold have. At the ODE we screen comments to prevent people from posting spam.

Especially considering how much media space has been provided for explanation. Hell, Gulley had what, an hour to explain himself, and he never stated on the record what the "racist attacks" were... and he's white, right? The new social contract is unfolding: if you agree to explain everything as permutations of oppression, and baselessly accuse senators of "racist attacks" for not increasing the PFC benchmark enough, nobody questions your indulgences in "cholo" costume, and you apparently get an "Ebony Man" award from Black Women of Achievement to boot. Yeesh. The whole “I’m so oppressed that I can’t be bothered to explain how” thing is getting mighty old. Especially considering how much media space has been provided for explanation.

Kinda sucks the air out of the whole communication thing ... Well, it also indicates that you are not going to listen to anyone until they start saying the same things that you do.
