He's bright and educated. A little bit extreme on gay issues and his site is NSFW. He would have been good subtly insulting King Edward VII alongside GBS and Oscar Wilde while seeming to fawn up to him. I like him. He’s bright and educated.

Not that it's not sincere, but I think he finds different ways to express himself depending upon the venue and his mood. Like the rest of us -- but waaay more extreme.

Here’s David E. from our humble Swamp:

As you know I’ve met Patterico and quite like him personally. We “bonded” over the Phil Spector case, as we both agreed on how it should be prosecuted. Naturally there’s little else we agree so easily on. His campaign against the LAT is interesting in that his points are often quite well-taken, sometimes marginal and sometimes just freelance complaining.

Sorry, David E., that I outed you as a reasonable observer!

Like I said, I've read enough from you on this site to form my opinion of your quality.

I haven't followed a one of your links or visited your website up until now and have no intention of breaking a perfect record. As a matter of fact, I find it odd that you and others like you who go through the effort of visiting other sites to promote your nonsense would assume anyone would want to trace the history of whatever your issues are.

You're a self-loathing gay who sees every social or political issue/process through the prism of sexual identity. You've decided contrary to available evidence that the Democratic party is the champion of gays, and, more in line with available evidence, it is the party that is more likely to also apply the prism of sexual identity to social or political issues/processes, which is fine by you as long as the application of sexual identity politics is limited to democratic gays, not republican or conservative gays. In order to conflate the three contradictory positions, you partition people into two groups, democrats and evil conservatives, and make shit up to support the partitioning. It doesn't work. It makes you appear stupid. It underlines your self-loathing bigotry.
