Then why are you posting in a Business,
Politics and the Economy discussion forum?

To point out that one statement might not have been utterly objective in viewpoint is moot, pedantic, and yes, very much sanctimonious.

As you point out yourself in your last post, this is a discussion forum and therefore anything you post here is open for discussion by any of the other participants. Since I am a forum participant, I have every right to make comment, just as you and any other participant does. If you feel my comments are outside of the usage guidelines for the forum, I invite you to forward them to a moderator for his/her review.
However, at risk of sounding sanctimonius once again, should anyone disagree or challenge a comment you make in this forum, it is well within their right to do so and you'll just have to have a coke and a smile and deal with it. After all, as evidenced in your last post here, I am certainly not the only one here who can be accused of sanctimony.
