I.e. just because someone called Ezra Klein a hack, and then you got zapped for saying something about the people "in the room" that was milder, by itself doesn't prove hypocrisy.<br /><br />E.g. let's say you come to my house for a dinner party, and lots of people in the room are talking about what a socialist Obama is. Then you say, "I can't believe the fools in this house!" I think any reasonable person would agree that you were ruder than my other guests.<br /><br />However, if Ken B. were there too, I am sure he would be more annoying.Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-51327975921468696952012-07-17T12:52:58.302-04:002012-07-17T12:52:58.302-04:00For a rude guy you're very pleasant ...

I would plead truth as a defense if I get cut. <br /><br />I like your comment about fueld by insults and hypersensitivity. I think that applies particularly to the RonPaulosphere, where they tend to be touchy about God, the Sanctity of Propity, and The Lost Cause.Ken Bhttp://incorrections.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-55623563929992177472012-07-17T10:48:01.708-04:002012-07-17T10:48:01.708-04:00I'm checking back periodically to see if they ...I'm checking back periodically to see if they delete Dave T accusing Klein of "political hackery".<br /><br />If I had a comment that said <i>"David Henderson is such a political hack"</i> it would probably be removed very quickly. Perhaps rightly, given the kind of public education resource that Econlib aspires to be. It's surprising that when it's said of Ezra Klein rather than David Henderson no one seems to notice (for the record, I don't think Henderson or Klein are political hacks).<br /><br />It belies a lot of the "we're interested in civility" claims. They're really not. Or they are and they're really bad at identifying it.<br /><br />Because that is unambiguously rude and insulting. Mine? I don't think so at least.<br /><br />I tolerate moderate insults like that, particularly if they come with substantive thoughts as well. Things get heated and sometimes we just don't like people and that stuff slips out. As long as it's not a continuous, unjustified diatribe it'll probably stand in this comment section.Daniel Kuehnhttp://www.factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-37253154507844242462012-07-17T10:41:26.101-04:002012-07-17T10:41:26.101-04:00Yeah, Lauren was a bit trigger happy there I'd...Yeah, Lauren was a bit trigger happy there I'd say.
