While I *do* agree that Keller is inconsistently obnoxious, the rejoinder
was itself a flame, and a long one at that. Mr. Keller is a troubled man,
from all appearances, and so far I have not seen anything from his immoderate
remarks that was *actually* injurious to anyone. Keller isn't the only
pain in the butt in this life; why not just ignore that kind of stuff and
get on with things that *are* fun or instructive or otherwise virtuous. If
we pause to correct everyone's politics (personal or social), we probably
will end up with little time for better things. (Naturally, if somebody
flames *me*, I'll let 'em have it!!! :-). Remember: angels fly because
they take themselves lightly.
