Very well put.  Have you ever thought of applying it to yourself?

Reading your various posts to the list, it's quite clear that
you habitually brand everyone who disagrees with you as a
rabid zealot, as you repeatedly did in this thread.

You have strong opinions on many things, and you're perfectly
entitled to them, but please don't call yourself a moderate.
