Reasoned Discourse: Really Pathetic Edition (UPDATE II)

New author on Huffpo w/ lots of credentials as a "Public Administration and Policy Consultant; Writer" throws out a few random posts w/ the latest being on gun control. He actually starts receiving more than a handful of comments, most of which hand him his @ss over his regurgitation of the usual talking points.

Then suddenly about 90% of the comments made (over 30) disappear and no further have been approved.

Note to the author. If you're going to jump onto a bandwagon that's already lost three of its wheels, at least know what you're talking about first.

UPDATE: About half the comments have returned. The interim comments/replies by Paul Heroux have been 'removed'. More info forthcoming.

UPDATE II: Some of Heroux's comments have been recovered. It gets even more pathetic:


IOW, he thought he knew more than he actually did, made the mistake of responding, got his @ss handed to him, the 'Reasoned Discourse' kicked in. Just like I called it.

And that's how we 'roll'.
