I posted my concern on his blog’s comments and he posted what I thought was a flippant, snarky response that was basically, “I’ll wait for Bill to complain. Chill out drama queen.” I withdrew and he then deleted all the comments! Stalinist. Only Justin’s non-sequitor “Nixonian” comment remains to mark it.

Bubba was scrupulous about not letting his animus for Bill creep into the RTB umbrella itself. He crossed that line on Monday. Protestations of “I was just kidding.” are only a coward’s way of making a point while not taking any responsibility.

You’ll also notice that not only do you now have the RTB constitution, which used to be sufficient, but you now have a speech code. What’s next? That’s my worry.

Over-reacting? Maybe so. But watch and see if this isn’t the first of more steps to come.
