"However, telling Mudcatters not to vent is not good tactics--you may get a response you consider an overreaction--in fact you recently did."

Ron Davies - I am not sure what you are reading into my posts. Actually I did not tell anyone not to vent. When I say to "ignore her", I am speaking in terms of the public not reading her columns, buying her books, or watching her guest appearances on TV. As long as she is "selling", she will have a forum. When she becomes as relevant as Morton Downey, she will disappear.   

I don't advocate censorship or blacklisting, but I do feel that boycotting is another story. People speak with their vote and their pocketbook (in certain parts of the country that is the same thing.)

As to moral relativism, I never was big on philosphy or labels. I could not stand Ayn Rand because I do not believe in absolutes. I reserve the right to look for reason.

I enjoy healthy debate, and as long as we stay on subject and not get personal I don't consider ourselves to be having a "dispute".
