Bye, folks.
The way kos is responding to the Zephyr Teachout story, and the way the other front-pagers are responding, and the way the community is responding, is something I don't want to associate myself with.
I realize the vast majority of folks here will interpret that as me taking Zephyr's side against kos.
The facts about my actual comments - which clearly indicate that that is not truth - will not matter, just as the facts that led to the misleading story in the Wall Street Journal will not matter.
The mobs want blood, and kos wants to give it to them - and, rather than preach reason and progressive principles, instead exploits the blood-frenzy for his own personal advantage.
I find it unethical, hypocritical and irrational, and I want no part of it.
So good bye, and good luck.

I have emailed asking that my account be cancelled. This is my last comment here:
Ends do not justify means.
