Jim Henley has launched a smear campaign against the use of Charles Johnson's useful epithet, "idiotarian." Such use will henceforth bear dire consequences.Chris Newman loses points for using the long-past-its-smell-date term "idiotarian," . . . .
I'm not sure who exactly it is that those of us who continue to use the term are losing points with, but I'm sure I don't care, either. Anyway, so much for the sanctity of free speech.
Chris, by the way, has responded with an accurate analysis of the reason behind Jim's antipathy toward the word, but has nonetheless elected to capitulate. Too bad.
Notice to all pointkeepers: use of the terms "idiotarian" and "anti-idiotarian," where appropriate, will continue unabated at In Context.
