No, that's the point. He doesn't. That's one of the most basic rules of the "Art of Persuasion". Once you start name-calling, the ability to persuade ends. I hit King really hard about his ideology, yet never once has he broken down and called me names. I also have tried not to get personal, but I have no problem with trashing King's ideology, using all the Cold War examples and terms. King just "rolls with it". I admire that. Even if, given half the chance, he'd have me packed off for "Reeducation"...

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
