I'm over my self-pitying rant.

I will stop reading comments before I stop posting.

I think, though, that helping people understand the First Amendment issues at stake in the gag orders is less important than helping people understand that the real danger to democracy is misinformation and disinformation, and these things cannot be fixed through the legal system.

@Teri_Kanefield I think the rage posters are probably a minority of your readers. Most are probably like me, reading your posts and ignoring the comments because your posts are nice and complete. I hope you don't get too discouraged!
@carolannie @Teri_Kanefield
Precisely my reaction. Always interested in Teri's explanations and points of view. I don't follow her for the comments. Her posts are usually so thorough that there's rarely a need for comments or questions anyway.
