Yes, I try to say things for the newspaper column that don't compromise principles of liberty in any way, while not sounding mean and nasty. I probably try harder to do that in the newspaper column than in this blog. But, I still say things in every column that I suspect might cause problems. I am still the same old me, and my attitudes and opinions haven't changed a bit. In person I am always (I think) kind and gentle. Sometimes to excess.
But to hear that about my writing is a shock.
Seriously, do I need to re-examine myself to see if I am losing my edge?
.
So, what's the conflict between kind, gentle, and free anyway?

It's not you, Kent.
It's probably some obscure and enigmatic reason...like his marriage counselor/shrink gave him a script for some type of experimental mild psychotropic that makes him perceive the whole world as a kinder gentler place.
That, or I was thinking maybe I'm influencing his thinking somewhat and he's starting to agree with me more (although I don't think there was ever much distance between us- the publisher is a different story...).
