I’d forgotten about this series. I’ve got some catching up to do.

Nope, I have no doubt they happen. I’m disputing that a old comedy film is useful evidence of them.

Responding aggressively to a post asking why it appears that American culture has become more aggressive and hateful is not helping as much as you think.
