". . . perched high on the pillar of their own smug self-righteousness and using it to personally attack other people. . . ."

And you are doing exactly what, Little Hawk?

I am not adding my voice much at this point because I just looked in this morning and found that both John and Amos have said very much what I would say.

Ake is the master of the personal attack and the collective attack as well, dismissing both moral argument and established scientific data with epithets like "Orwellian liberalism" and accusing those who don't agree with him of trying to force their agenda on people like him--when it is he who wants to force his agenda on a whole category of people.

And Ake also uses the term "hypocrisy." Yes, indeed, Little Hawk, there is a lot of hypocrisy going around. You and Ake need to look in a mirror.
