for some the distinction between message and messenger is all too difficult to make. It is unfortunate, but it is just the case.
There are ideas or messages I might criticize, and some might say that is crazy and say why, others might say instead that I am awful and un-american.
To some there is an obvious distinction between disputing my ideas, as opposed to saying I can't handle other views (which is making it about me, the messenger).
To me there is nothing subtle about the distinction, to some others the distinction is invisible.
Bummer.
