Actually, no.  My point is almost the reverse.  I respect both John
and Bob, for different reasons.  Bob I have known off and on for about
15 years, and he's always been a decent, intelligent fellow, visionary
and yet level-headed.  John has won my respect for his courage and
Antifeminism.  I agree that some of his ideas are nutty, but others
are just unpopular and deserve a better look.

It pains me to see them fighting, especially so dirtily.  I'm sure
they'll both tell me I'm full of it for showing the other any respect.
With the battle raging so heatedly, I'm probably the only one who
feels this way and people on both sides will slam me for it.  But I
stand by it.

Yes.  Name-calling all around, and the word "nincompoop" has been
worked to death and far beyond.  Obviously there's no actual
communication going on.  Which is too bad.
