With the post below, I’m done with the Burk issue (I reserve the right to respond to clever or significantly dumb comments), although not with the issues of men, women, and children.
I did want to take a moment and give an attaboy to Glenn Reynolds (despite the fact that he didn’t link to me and still, dammit, hasn’t put me on the Big Blogroll and Fount of Traffic); he and I had a long email correspondence about all this and while we’re each kind of puzzed about the other’s position, he was gracious, civil, and picked my most coherent email to promote.
