So someone disagreeing with business practices or with a business' lack of
community care, are to be labeled "wackadoos" and "moonbats"? Who wrote
that rule?
Does that mean Doug is wackadoo" or a "moonbat" because he doesn't like the
way some businesses allow women to be in charge or allows them to be on a
board of that business? He has clearly stated in too-numerous of writings,
that he feels businesses or organizations that allow women positions of
power are businesses that are unmanly and should not be patronized.
You said it; I'm just extending it logically.
