Lars is a public figure

With that comes potshots. If Lars weren't good at what he does, he wouldn't have the success he has, and regardless what one thinks of his politics one has to given him proper respect for that, and I do. (Lars and I agree on a few things, by the way, don't assume you know everything about me. You don't.)

Having said that, why should Lars be any different here than Peter Ames Carlin or Jonathan Nicholas? People manage to work in potshots at them, too, deserved or otherwise.

Lars is a polarizing figure. He's built his recent career on that. When you choose that path, then your motto has to be this: "The only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about." And I'm sure it would please the man himself no end to know that it was originally said by Oscar Wilde. heh.

Short version: Lars is capable of taking care of himself, and getting people riled up is why he's there.
