    I can't escape my cynicism. I find it too useful.

    You are wrong.

    Dude, you could be absolutely right, and making that assumption was still absolutely wrong. Get that?

    YankeeFan, you should know better than to go ad hominem when you are arguing the logical point. You defeated yourself.

    Fair enough.

    Your opinion, and your explanation, are now a minority view, not even defended by the publisher.

    The community most invested in the issue, the transgendered community, is unanimous in its feeling on the issue.

    Defend it if you must, but you're wrong. You're on "the wrong side of history" with this.

    Let me sort this out.

    You profiled him as privileged, white, college educated, straight, male.

    And then you said he holds a minority view?

    That does not compute.

    You're right.

    I found "as I explained earlier" to be offensive, when the people most invested in this matter have "explained" they're point of view, and it holds more weight with me than SnarkShark's point of view.

    While he (she?) may not empathize with the transgender community, I shouldn't have made so many assumptions about where he/she was coming from.

    YankeeFan, you've been exposed as an unthinking person that relies on presumption and conjecture, who ran out of things to make up about the topic at hand, so instead made assumptions about my background and social status.

    Fair enough.

    His view that Dr V had to be outed his held by a minority of people. Even the publisher of the piece does not agree with that opinion.

    I'm ok with that.

    You should be ashamed of your stance on the matter.

    Which will be longer, Caleb's period in hiding, or Michelle Obama's Hawaiian vacation?

    Has someone started the clock on Caleb?
