Audra & The Antidote

Sigh. Professor Kuperberg, I know you were raised in Alabama, so you know that old sainyg: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.I know that you feel you "sticking up" for people treated unfairly (i.e., attacks on bias at the New York Times). But as you have discovered, other people find your approach abrasive, elitist, and snide.How much better to kindly and directly state that you don't find them biased for reasons X, Y, and Z...without the snide asides.I have watched you post on this site for quite a while, I know you are capable of being almost courtly in your manners. Please consider being more polite. Folks would be less apt to call you a troll, and you might find more receptive ears.
