Who's "we" stranger?   Dan is right.   You are wrong. 

Unless of course one is only allowed to post thought-provoking articles
that one agrees with on this List.

In short, the future of the Democratic Party has been a topic for
discussion on this List.    I read this article, and thought that the
author had some interesting points about the subject.   I posted this
article to the List for other people's enjoyment, and was careful to
specify that I was not in agreement with everything the author had to say,
and gave some indication of my disagreeements.   

If you're going to call me underhanded for that - for of all things
expressing an opinion that is favorable to the Democrats - then I'm not
sure that I want anything more to do with you, as at that point it will be
clear that you are unable to take me at my word, which would make further
discussion pointless.
