I do not conflate "being nice" with "respect." I'm absolutely fine with someone swearing and hurling any quantity of invectives, as long as they are LISTENING before they speak. This guy completely missed the point of Mr. Manjoo's article. Mr. Manjoo himself missed the point of his own article, which was not "IT are such jerks," but in fact, "IT does not adequately explain their decisions, and this feeling of powerlessness, and being ignored, is making me unhappy."
