Well I find his sensitivity to the article and his inability to laugh at it, along with his vociferous defense of "free speech" on this list...incongruous and so amusing. he has singled himself out.

I miss some of the other depositors of wisdom that seem to be silent behind the heavy velvet tones of Thubten kunga. Don't stop posting by any means...but do have the courtesy to creat the negative space that others may fill...er, once in awhile? Oh, to Hell with me.
