This goes out to Alan Ferdman of Canyon Country (letters, Dec. 9). It’s the answer to his question as to why The Signal “wastes ink on his rants … Gary Horton’s continuing blithering nonsense.” Please read my letter of Aug. 26. The answer to his question is in the last paragraph, the reason we need to let people like Gary Horton rant: “And yet, I do believe that people like Gary Horton, Jonathan Kraut and Andrew Taban provide an essential service by voicing their ‘liberal’ opinions, thus periodically reminding the rest of us why we disagree with them — lest we forget.”
But brother, you do have my sympathies.
