Comments on: Journal Daily Digest: Martineau a hypocrite? http://blog.fagstein.com/2009/02/03/journal-daily-digest-more-martineau/ Can you think of a better name?

Hell, I often find myself agreeing with him. What annoys the hell out of me is his inability to have a discussion. As soon as someone has a different opinion, rather than a lively and courteous debate, we get the whole "C'est ça, je suis de la merde" (oops marde), strident defensive adolescent. It gets old really fast. The man really should learn how to debate without his emotions getting the better of him. And sorry, I don't care how much of a polemicist you are, resorting to name calling - especially calling people "conasse" (i.e. cunt), is rude and low and pathetic.
