I don’t take this personally. In part that’s because I subscribe to the Hyman Roth rule of punditry (“this is the business we’ve chosen.”) In part it’s because Yglesias has written before about his belief in the need for more highly charged moralistic language in politics, so I understand that his accusing me of harboring genocidal racist tendencies is just his way of trying to contribute to the public discourse.
