In this baseball piece for The New Yorker, Roger Angell writes about New York's Tatterdemalions without also bringing up his idea that this upcoming Presidential election is the most important of his 96 year life and that he intends to vote for Hillary. Here's the link:

Anybody here feel compelled to explain to MSF62 what the rules are for posting a link like the one I just did is free to do just that.

He is truly, truly amazin.

I'm almost always surprised how 'right there with ya' I am.

I don't understand how he does it, exactly, as incredible perspective is only part of it, I guess the other how brilliantly effortless it reads. I mean it's simple with a couple Tatterdemalions thrown in (a ragamuffin, according to my dictionary) but that's hard to do.

I posted this quote from Ben Grimm in the other post where you attacked me. Maybe if you see it again you'll understand it.
There is no admonishment against linking. Let's nip this misconception in the bud right now.This came about because of an overly sensitive and hyperbolic reaction to this statement by Namor:

If you are sharing the link and not bashing the author in your post, then i don't think anyone needs to click on it to know he is voting for Clinton
He was simply saying that he was able to predict the tone of the article based on the context in which it was posted.
