Nevertheless, I maintain that 'radical centrism' is a grotesque abuse of language, even if it is a program of action I can get behind.

I find this hilarious that one off hand comment to road about how i'm just just as sick of centrists being jerks somehow manifested into a controversy

I had never heard of 'radical centrism' -- had never thought any creature would think to string those words together. Radical (going to the root of something) in what respect? Centrism, characterized in part by a pragmatic approach to political action? Whatever you and some political scientists may think, the phrase is a conceptual muddle. I'm going to have to disagree with (2).
