# I would suggest
that whether 'cunt' or 'cloaca' is employed, the personal attacks are utterly pointless. Personal attacks, as dissenting voices, are self-defeating. Surely the wisest option would be to provide intellectual opposition to his viewpoints, with persuasive evidence of why he is wrong, rather than calling him a cloaca.

I fear that this plays into his hands somewhat, as he can easily reject these 'criticisms' by putting it down to childish name-calling. I think he would be much more uncomfortable with reasoned arguments against him. This just gives him the opportunity to play the victim, if anything comes of it.

# I doubt I would have got very far
in instructing b3tans in how to do anything. I'd sonner attempt the herding of cats.

# I'm not accusing you of instructing
and you know I'm a fan of bloggerheads and your work in general. I'm just concerned about the efficacy of the current tactic.
