I was happy to read today that he's now retaining Fred Jackson and possibly two more. This would've been a different post. But still: concerning issues.<BR/><BR/>Also, while I'm not offended or anything, I do think it's sloppy to dismiss an argument because you don't like the source. If I were trying to assert fact and had a record of being wrong, yes, but to say you're taking someone's views with a grain of salt because you don't like the views is dishonest. If you think the argument and conclusions are shoddy, attack the argument. That's fair. But saying, "I'm taking this opinion with a grain of salt" not based on the merits but the source is lazy and self-defeating. Maybe I'm totally wrong. That would be fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661639.post-58675858424410609502007-12-21T13:45:00.000-05:002007-12-21T13:45:00.000-05:00Crimenotes clearly is set on being a curmudgeon ab...Crimenotes clearly is set on being a curmudgeon about this whole thing.
