Interesting contrast in styles, sure. Need to think more about the content, though. Also, why is it that you don't upbraid these Torquemadas for not taking your side with your K-School sweetheart?
Maybe that kind of thing has nothing to do with the First Amendment after all, huh, Justice Alito?

JJ, JJ, you keep beating on that horse, though you know very well that's not what I meant. My beef is with all these attempts at curtailing free speech on the altar of PC. I say that, even during a political campaign -- nay, especially then! -- all parties should go at it with abandon, if they feel like it. That was common practice in the 19th century -- making for a much more vivacious campaign style. Now it's all sugar-coated in bromides, to the point that mentioning a candidate's middle name is a deadly sin! So what's wrong if two dames have a cat fight and call each other monster or something? Oh, c'mon, JJ, lighten up. You're turning downright sourpuss victorian on me!

Nothing's wrong with it. It turns off voters.

PC is new, AI. You bet the stump speeches were good back then. Journalism was a lot better:
The Colonel appeared in the door a moment afterward with a dragoon revolver in his hand.

He said, "Sir, have I the honor of addressing the poltroon who edits this
mangy sheet?"

"You have. Be seated, sir. Be careful of the chair, one of its legs is
gone. I believe I have the honor of addressing the putrid liar, Colonel
Blatherskite Tecumseh?"

"Right, Sir. I have a little account to settle with you. If you are at
leisure we will begin."

"I have an article on the 'Encouraging Progress of Moral and Intellectual
Development in America' to finish, but there is no hurry. Begin."
