well, not quite. My quote was " being moved to a separate area, where red-pillers and sheeple can duke it, out makes sense."
now, if you insist on casting yourself as the red-piller, you're implicitly casting me or people I would be more likely to agree with as sheeple. That should give perspective on whether to read that as a personal slam or not.
..In the first place, my own "perspective" - speaking strictly for myself - is not "drawn from limited and narrowly ideological sources." Far from it. I'm the guy who posts screeds like the following, ...The folowing comes up on the Brave browser when one spinsthe following words through the DuckDuckGoSearch engine: ...well, there's a bit of know-your-audience. If I'm responding to some right-wing post, I'm not going to trot out Noam Chomsky as an authority. Robert Kennedy should similarly be disqualified. Good choice of search engines, though.
But anyway, my response that you're objecting to, that you seem to think was to one of your posts, was to one by amayon. Are you trying to take offense for him? I think he earns it by his tone, which is far more pugnacious than yours. Or are you accepting him as bedfellow in this discussion? because sure, you're more likely to draw from broad sources than the others who I might carelessly and somewhat unfairly lump together as if you all had one point of view.as you can see, I'm taking the accusation of ignoring you seriously (at least, as seriously as befits interwebby back&forth). Just like you don't get to pick your own nickname, or say you're not racist, you don't get to say you're not a troll - but I don't think of myself that way. (now, kibbitzer? maybe..) However, it is true I'm not all that motivated to get into the kind of discussion you want, where we can both dig up sources and debate the credibility of their data. I'll limit myself to pointing out when someone trots out a particularly weak observation, or to be fair to me (because on reviewing some of my posts, I do this quite often too), to comment positively when someone makes an argument that I find fresh, interesting, or well made in some other sense.Now, Peter/podfish, If you would actually like to have a conversation with this one... we can have a discourse about my ‘methodology’ on the level of adults. But if you prefer to ignore me and shine on my attempt to have a conversation with you, you ought to concede – in all honesty - that you have only come down into our ward to kibitz and to troll:
