This is your great magnus opus of reason to beat back my "ilk"???

His opinion doesn't match mine, nor does his assessment of the facts he presents. I'll leave it at that and hope that people will read his piece critically before passing judgement on the accuracy of what he asserts.

You make blanket statements about "rhetoric" without addressing any of Card's points and then accuse him of appealing to emotion.
After that, you bolster your statement by repeating the original, but instead of addressing points, you add definitions, as if this will help (because I obviously don't know the definitions of the words you used).
Forgive me, but I and the ilk remain unimpressed.
