> Mike Johnston wrote a lengthy political opinion piece.
I did NOT write a "lengthy political opinion piece." I defended myself against a bile-spewing, stupidly reasoned, invective-strewn post that referred to me as "Baghdad Mike," called me a twit, and implied that I was somehow (?) endangering the lives of American soldiers. That's what I was doing. I reserve the right defend myself against _ad hominem_ attack...or at to least try to do so. --Mike
