The only "pyrotechnics", such as they were, was my initial "AIIGH". After that, I posted a simple issue with slamming all of Fox News because they hired a flake to appeal to other flakes, and thus drive up their ad revenue. I've been critical of O'Reilly quite a bit, and he's one of the reasons I don't watch FNN for the news (he's on far too much), so slamming him directly makes sense to me. Bringing FNN into it (beyond being fools enough to sign his contract) seems a bit much.

This is the first post of yours I've responded to in a while. I'm usually just enjoying your library stories, posts about how you're handling the whole process of marriage, etc. I have kept quiet for the most part, because of your request. I apologize for any stress you might have felt because of me, and have created my own post to handle any further discussion, if anyone wants to reply. I don't "persist in staging" debates here -- this was going to be something light, I thought. I spend much more time in debate over at eyelid's journal, honestly, and I get to learn about Sukkot in the process, so it's all good.

Your position that this was somehow to be showy is baffling, but that's fine -- I've moved this off of your journal per your request. It's not meant to be showy anywhere else, but at least it won't trouble you, right?
