		<description>There&#039;s something out of kilter here. If, as you say, &quot;...I began to visit and read your blog out of respect for your intellect...&quot; and that curious moniker, none (so far as I&#039;ve seen) of your comments reflected a change in perspective?

Indeed, out of the gate your comments never gave indication of any such sentiment. And that moniker. How surprising it is (to me) from your initial comment to the present, you&#039;ve only shown a deniggerating expression of whatever the host has written.

&#039;Round here there&#039;s an expression, &quot;Don&#039;t go away mad - just go away.&quot; Although I must admit to deriving a certain degree of amusement from the joust.</description>

		<description>Malcolm, trolls like howsurprising aren&#039;t worth the time of day, as you say, contributing nothing but insults. One has to have a modicum of agreement in order to intelligently discuss and argue disagreements. Ban him.</description>

		<description>I have other interests besides philosophy, and I have political views that you obviously do not agree with. 

If my opinions disgust and disappoint you, and you lack the inclination or ability to engage and rebut them (or, for that matter, to make any worthwhile contribution whatsoever), then I suggest once again that you simply stop visiting this website.</description>

		<description>Malcolm, rest assured, I don&#039;t know you in the &quot;real world&quot;. But I began to visit and read your blog out of respect for your intellect when discussing philosophy. But my respect has turned into disgust and disappointment.</description>

		<description>Very constructive comment, howsurprising.

Yes, I write about politics and society fairly often, and from a generally conservative viewpoint. I am always happy to discuss and debate with readers any observations or arguments I make; that&#039;s why I do this in a public forum. 

But with rare exceptions, you don&#039;t come here for discussion, or to examine the issues; you usually contribute nothing but insults. 

In this post I commented on an article that pointed out a flamboyantly, and arguably incoherently, race-centric viewpoint that is common enough to warrant the attention of those who take an interest in the course of public affairs. To you, however, that&#039;s just a &quot;boring rant&quot;.

What puzzles me is why, if my brain is so degenerate, and my commentary so dull, you feel the need to keep reading and commenting here. The degree of your animosity, indeed, seems almost personal: it makes me wonder if you are someone I know from the &quot;real world&quot;. 

I suppose, though, that I am not likely to have an answer to that. I doubt that you have the courage to post your witless invective under your real name.

At the very least, let me assure you that you are certainly welcome to go away.</description>

		<description>When Malcolm headlines this as Its Turtles all the way Down, I thought that he was actually going to talk a little philosophy. But no, the same boring political racially tinged rants; further evidence of Malcolm&#039;s increasingly degenerate and crotchety brain.</description>

		<description>You need to learn to use search engines, Pete.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;.

I was invited tonight to a Scotch tasting at a local steakhouse, and am unfit to comment further. More later, maybe.</description>

		<description>If Joe Lieberman were President, I&#039;m sure that our policy towards Israel would be endlessly scrutinized in much the same way.  Since nearly all of our other Presidents were WASPs (is JFK the only exception?), this sort of thing never came up before.

I&#039;m missing the reference in your title.  Turtles?</description>
