I'm afraid I am unable to follow through with a less confrontational tone.  My intent is not to berate or censor a person but to honestly confront  what I regard as weak arguments and a disrespectful tone.

I respect, welcome and understand your criticism. I seem to have failed to achieve a complete neutrality of tone but am trying to proceed mindfully.

Could it be Michael F who feels insecure and tries to get attention by attacking Berkeley philosophy professors and a movement that has succeeded in initiating a much needed nationwide conversation about the tension between democracy and Friedman style capitalism? If you have tactical ideas which are better than those you see being used, then maybe you should get involved and offer your ideas. Instead of mocking David, how about Michael F  squaring off against Goliath? By the way, precise argument and overall scholastic credibility might be helped by mastering the difference between the possessive pronoun and the adverb spelling of their/there.
