I choose my language very carefully. I use the word shill because it is transparently obvious that Mr. Wilbur is not representing both sides nor even attempting to cover the pro-drilling point of view. I use eco-nuts because the organizations that oppose drilling are adamant and complete in their desire--no drilling whatsoever under any circumstances ever. Their viewpoint is childish and a fantasy and I am pointing that out. It is "nuts". On the other hand, perhaps you have a point in that good and honest people may have concerns and oppose drilling--my quarrel is not with them. I am happy to discuss and debate the pros and cons with reasonable people. The people I lambaste with my language are, in my opinion, not reasonable and never will be.

How do you expect to be taken seriously if you use such I think your characterization of gas drilling opponents as “shills” and “eco-nuts” is a disgrace.
