"I am just trying to correct your implication, attributed to your invisible friends, that there is some irrational drive behind what I do here. I find it snarky and bilious despite your own pretense "

Amos,

It is not an irrational drive, it is a blatent partisan viewpoint that they have observed. They understand whay you act this way, and finf your behaviour similar to that of the far Right. But they have decided that the comments you make, with your protestations that you do NOT represent the extreme Left indicate that the support for Obama seems ( to them) to be more extreme then they care to vote with.
