jadis is just letting us know he's too nuanced for the tribal leftist vs. rightwing thing. I say we all applaud him for this groundbreaking idea and move on. I suspect he comes from a leftwing environment and that's why his hostility is mostly directed that way.

Also I propose we relieve me of my mod duties by making everyone else a mod instead and watch MB go down in mayhem

And using a phrase like "the tolerant left" and complaining about linguistic cages is peak irony.

Gauche? Dithering? Someone's been browsing the thesaurus..

I mean, who uses that verb any longer ?!? I'm embarrassed even to admit that I know what it means, let alone use it in a sentence ;)
