I've seen it oh-so-often when a debate gets out of hand (either the flames lick up, or they get cornered, or one side begins trolling)-- it's basically "oh crap, I need to back the heat off *now*." The most disturbing part is SFL's post about how all of us are bad mannered, and her husband's his own man. Excuse me? I call it “the hand in the cookie jar” defense.

I think if I were to count the number of webloggers who went through a similar transformation that our now-famous SouthernFemaleLawyer did, I would run out of fingers, and quite possibly toes. The same name-calling, the same swearing, the same evasion, the same denial of facts/figures/statistics, the same "oh woe is me", the same "I'm being picked on", the same "I just <em>know</em> you are wrong, despite the copious evidence supporting you"... And yet they say <em>we</em> are the ones getting the wheelbarrows of cash to write up our stuff. Yeah. Right. At least the NRA sends us different-sounding scripts. Oh wait...
