How do you really feel, Ramesh?

I am not following the discussion at hand but the following comment by Ramesh Ponnuru to Tom Goldstein is a hoot. After I responded to his attack on me, calling it slippery and dishonest, Goldstein issued two responses--one in the comments section of his original post and one new 9-page (!) post. Goldstein says his "personal opinion" of my "levelheadedness was higher" before I responded to him on the Corner. Looking back on it, I do regret the "slippery and dishonest" comment. It's incomplete! Goldstein is also rock-dumb.

Hey Ramesh, how do you really feel about Tom Goldstein?
