I was in Bangalore today and had a taxi driver turn to me and say, "you know what, throwaway894345 may be pro-Damore and spend rhetorical time trying to downplay the Jan 6 riots, but I'm sure that anecdote about a female colleague working in communications getting flak for not making the hand black is in no way a ridiculous straw man for his own sentiments." A bunch of leftist professors happened to overhear us as we were stopped at the curb and immediately threw down their Che shirts and began sobbing and clapping.

  That was the first time I've upvoted a comment whose raw message irritated me. You don't see many creative comments here. They seem to be discouraged. But at least we all have impeccable rationality!
