Barry stooped to the old guilt by association ad hominem fallacy.
But why would Barry want to associate Card with Harold Bloomfield? Not
only was Barry's comment an irrelevant red herring, but it was downright
nasty with some shades of Vaj mixed in with it. It's bad enough to
equate Bloomfield's actions with your average TMer, but Card hasn't
presented any suspicion that he's involved with raping any women. Barry
should apologize to the entire group or leave, in my opinion.
If we all followed Barry's logic, we could associate most of the things
Barry does with his teacher Fred Lenz who has been accused of some
pretty nasty behavior.

*You were asking whether the /questions/ were in the same ballpark,
