Dale: I am sorry you feel like you have to duck attacks in ENTS. In a diverse country like the U.S. there will always be people who think its too conservative and too liberal at the same time.
One time my research was featured in both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and I became the enemy of all liberals and all conservatives. I used my Midwestern teflon coating to steer down the middle and deflect everything. As we say here, if every one hates you, you must be doing a good job.
