[MD] Quality sacrificed to equality

[ian glendinning]

No Platt,

You led with a "Leftist" hook and got a right jab between the eyeballs.
You go looking for a fight; you get one. You started it - that's
what's typical. Read your own words.

So we have a polarized partizan slanging match when we could have been
having a constructive debate about what I would call "political
correctness" - the "equality" in your shameless slogan.

Platt must go.
