John Wilson, in his letter entitled “Sarcastic Letters Feed Polarization,” castigated Mr. Moore, Mr. Martin and Mr. Owings for being narrow-minded, hateful, mean-spirited, sarcastic, egotistical, problematic, uncompromising, neo-fascists who feed destructive polarization.

Of course, Mr. Wilson must be right, but I would suggest if he wants a good example of dwelling on pettiness, he reread his own letter.
