Here's a lesson for you Lifer.  I know it will do no good but so what!

Point 1...I was asking the question of buteye, not you.  I think he is completely capable to answer for himself if he chooses.

Point 2...Di.a.tribe, (1) archaic (Lifer, to help you understand, that means ''old timey'' and generally no longer accepted as the current definition).. a prolonged discourse, (2) ..A BITTER AND ABUSIVE SPEECH OR WRITING, (3) ..ironical or satirical discourse.  (From: Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition)

My question was to Buteye asking why he considered Copper's very thoughtful and reasoned post to be a BITTER AND ABUSIVE SPEECH OR WRITING  (a ''diatribe'') but Wix's typical screed was not.

Next time you might read the entire definition before posting your ''diatribe'' .
