So in other words, you want me to shut up?  Or you want me to conform to your views?  Or both?  Does the editorial board agree with you?  Because if that is true, then should all the people that "like" my comments once in a while do the same?  Or are they also "once in a while" wrong, too?  Just trying to get clarity here.

The NYT is struggling right now because they have chosen to cater to, and print only left leaning news.  News that is a lot of times proven wrong.  Not just at face value, but in fact.  They, too, would like to browbeat their readers who could be considered conservative to just shut up and go away.  And they did.  And now they are laying people off.  Because of their product.  

How long do you think CB could last if Mr Omidyar were to divest, and this site had to rely on donations from "like minded" readers.  They couldn't.  Because if they could, they already would.  So again, does the editorial board agree with you?  If so, I will go silent for 3 weeks.
