As Gandhi said of civilization, a little civility can be a good idea

Waldo got his head handed to him recently- as did some others- by Adam Fogle, proprietor of The Palmetto Scoop.

His comments are a useful reminder that even in the rather robust theater of debate that is the SC blogdom, there's people involved, too, and feelings can get bruised. One writer's clever throwaway line may a reader's insult. In this election without end, where high feelings combine with the instantaneousness of the Internet, the better angels of our natures probably feel pushed aside some days. I don't blog to make enemies and imagine most people don't.

I've clearly offended him, else he wouldn't have raised the issue in print. My apologies. I appreciate the caution.
