It is now three days since I [1] responded to Dean Esmay's slanders and answered his questions, and I haven't heard a peep from him.

A man who was so quick to call me a traitor and a lot of other things besides sure has been quiet. His only response to my post has been to [2] smear Charles Johnson with quite spectacular unfairness for posting it at LGF, and to [3] condemn Jihad Watch and others for fostering the [4] trumped-up, politically manipulative phenomenon of "Islamophobia."

But answers to my substantive points? Nope. Dean, I'm starting to realize that you're just a cowardly smear artist, rather than a rational thinker or writer. And don't worry about getting kicked out of Pajamas Media -- I'm strongly considering quitting a club that would have someone like you as a member.

Of course, some people warned me about Esmay at the outset. Still, I think it was worthwhile responding to him for the record, for those of good will who think the way he does.
