May I hijack this thread to ask a question about Moderation?

As we know, Mr. Ditka thinks the Oklahoma mass murder was “not entirely unreasonable.” Recently he told us that there have been “lots of left-wing terrorist attacks” in the last few decades.

Surely it was natural for me to ask for clarification. Was he excluding “reasonable” attacks from the “lots of”? But of course Ditka went whining to the Mods, hoping to earn a warning for me:

Veiled dig?? 😕 I thought it obvious that the clarification was needed before assessing this latest Ditka turd.
