Still won’t answer the question lol. Keep dodging.
Larry doesnt really need anyone to defend him,but what Holier than thou attitude are you referring to? I've never seen Larry not willing to engage with us and discuss otherwriters, his articles and his takes. The fact that we get a chance to question a writer on his journalistic choices is pretty cool to me. David Hale has ways been one of the good writers to me. He asks good questions,does real research,and is pretty even handed with his takes.
The fact that you don't realize that your blisteringly wrong takes about Tony Elliot hurt your case is an issue for me. Also, calling someone a "queer" is so infantile,and frankly embarrassing for you, I'd probably just be quiet and let the adults in the room talk.
