Upon reflection, I'm going to have to say that I was a bit brusque in my earlier comments re Edward's Fajullah post: expecting the assumption of goodwill from those who disagree with you is a two-way street, after all, and at any rate it would have been more appropriate to quietly handle the matter via email. Thus, as the original comment was made in public, so are my apologies for any difficulties created by it.
And now, back to the kitchen. I've an idea for lemon-pepper chicken that needs exploring...
Hurray for comity.
Hurray for lots of lemon, and maybe white pepper.

Moe,
You've become a real wuss. ;)
Well done, there is not enough apologizing in the blogosphere.

"Well done, there is not enough apologizing in the blogosphere."
I'm sorry.

Since I am the one who went off in the long winded vent, perhaps civily-worded but with decided incivility in implication, in a thread that started with light-hearted comity, I feel the apologetic one. I accuse no-one of bad faith, at worst Georg Lukacs' "bad conciousness", and try to be careful not to apply conclusions made about an aggregate to individuals. Sometimes I fail.
Such discussions about Parties are either pointless or useless in partisan blogs, but most bipartisan blogs prefer discussion to be about events, candidates, and policies, and not about each other. Good idea.
Put in on an old fart's too-preciously held grudges.

No apologies here.
I hate you all.

Somebody needs a hug.

These are tough times for all of us. Our nation is in a bad way and we're all stressed out about how to make it better. At least we have that in common.

Need more advanced warning of Moe's culinary projects. I would love to give ham-baking, chicken-peppering advice, but the time difference always blows my chances.
And, wilfred, well put.

You and me both. :)

Agreed. (Lemon-pepper chicken? Is this heresy?)

How'd the lemon pepper chicken turn out Moe?
