RE: Clinton/ needless silliness

[Tim Lohrmann <timlohr@yahoo.com>]

Erik, 
I think you're missing the point.
No one is excusing Clinton's behavior. I think many of
us were embarrased by having all this explicit stuff
on the news.

But if you're offended and embarrased by it, what good
does it do to revisit the details here? It was
completely unnecessary. You're an articulate writer
and could have easily made your point just as
effectively in any number of other ways.  

You're right that this was all over the internet, as
are many other offensive websites that kids should be
steered away from. But why needlessly add Vision2020
posts to this list?

Why not just go ahead and admit that using explicit
language was a mistake? 
I don't believe the post in question--which many
understandably found out of place--lends much
credibility to your other posts. 
And that's a shame. You often make valid points from a
perspective that isn't seen with much frequency here.
