<p>With that said, I&#8217;d also like to defend the majority of my readers.  I believe they&#8217;re perfectly capable of forming their own opinions, that they have level heads and that they have good judgment.  They&#8217;ve showed me that in the comments they&#8217;ve left on this blog, and in the emails they&#8217;ve wrote to me.  Anyone insinuating otherwise is insulting both me and my readers.  And I think we&#8217;ve all had enough of this negative energy from the <em>clásicos</em>, no?</p>
