The first personalization in this discussion was yours above, not mine.
I have said many times, loudly, that I don't and never will give a damn
about the personalities involved in a rational discussion, and my
record on that is very clear. I am responding to the words printed,
and only those. I merely suggest that when someone says he is opposed
to ideology, that we ought to believe that he is opposed to ideology,
not that we misunderstand him. To me, that very statement itself is
evidence that I am attacking the words, not the man.
The word "enemy" is simply the word that fits the structure of the
sentence I chose, and it means precisely what the dictionary says it
means, not what you might psychologize about my motives. Personally,
I value quite highly those who disagree with me--especially those
capable of doing so with rational argument.
