Precisely what mode of thought was he satirizing?

"Satire" has a meaning - A Modest Proposal wasn't Swift going "haha what if we ate babies"

>arent you showing your bias here?

You're saying that as if a post unopposed is neutral, and opposition is "taking a side" and therefore showing bias. It's not. There is no neutral here. The article poster has taken a side and the moderation team has too, even if it's just a slight pro.

I can say a lot about Shapiro, few things good. But I've been told to keep away from this sort of flame war and I'm convinced if you're willing to change your mind you can seek out the information I'd provide easily on your own.
