35. So let's look at what you've achieved.

You've posted roughly half the comments under this thread, fighting with pro-Warren Presidency people in all of them.

Is it 'character assassination' then, to suggest that you were intending to do exactly what you succeeded in doing? Essentially burying anything that might have been said under the OP in pointless back and forths where you defend your pure and noble intentions?

What is news, though, is who is making the comments. If this were John McCain's essay, or John Kerry's, for that matter, this would be a surprising endorsement. Coming from an organization that has long supported her candidacy, though, this is less surprising.

So first it's 'news' that it's coming from who it is, and then within a second sentence, it's back to not really being 'news' because it fails to 'surprise' you.

Call it 'impugning your character' if you want. I'd call it 'holding up a mirror' for you to see what you're doing.

I didn't write an endorsement for the Boston Globe. Anna Galland did. MADem Mar 2015 #5

I want her to be Fed Chair. That's a job where she can really apply her particular skills MADem Mar 2015 #27

I want her to be the president choosing the fed chair. mountain grammy Mar 2015 #30

She'd have to reverse her decision for that to happen! nt MADem Mar 2015 #32

Ok, it's a 'fact'. So what? Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #10

No--I am doing nothing of the sort. That's an unfair accusation. MADem Mar 2015 #13

Oh, sure you weren't.... Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #16

Wow. That's some vitriol, and it's not accurate. MADem Mar 2015 #19

There wasn't an ounce of 'vitriol' in my reply. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #23

Gee, ya coulda fooled me! MADem Mar 2015 #28

Apparently I did fool you. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #29

When you start your rant with "Here's a hint..." you're not being a cheery pal. MADem Mar 2015 #31

'Not friendly' is a far cry from 'vitriol'. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #33

You don't have to be foaming at the mouth to be vitriolic. MADem Mar 2015 #34

So let's look at what you've achieved. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #35

If you didn't call me names, I wouldn't be replying to you. MADem Mar 2015 #36

Really? Then let's fix that. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Mar 2015 #37

Thank you--that will be lovely. nt MADem Mar 2015 #38

It's a pity that the post includes two articles not one RufusTFirefly Mar 2015 #39

No slam on the Senator, but the Globe's endorsement doesn't mean what it used to mean. MADem Mar 2015 #40

No slam on you, MADem, but don't you think harassing EW supporters on this thread with RiverLover Mar 2015 #41

And why does her organization want Warren to run? nt MannyGoldstein Mar 2015 #3

I think the answer is in her article....? nt MADem Mar 2015 #6

Do you think she played some part in getting MoveOn to MannyGoldstein Mar 2015 #9

Maybe you should ask her. I'd guess the answer to that is YES. nt MADem Mar 2015 #14

This is the Warren group, and we know that. djean111 Mar 2015 #4

What's wrong with telling people who the person is who wrote the article? MADem Mar 2015 #8

Again, why would you think we would not know that? djean111 Mar 2015 #11

It was news to me--I initially thought the writer was Globe Staff. MADem Mar 2015 #15

A lot of Warren supporters signed the MoveOn petition for asking Warren to run. Familiar with djean111 Mar 2015 #17
