Very strange, honestly. I have NEVER said the stuff that apparently you believe I said. "'Shit's fucked and here's why, let's sit and agree vigorously about it." -- that is the exact wrong thing to say, and I will say so 10 times out of 10. I basically am on the same page as you -- let's deliberate reasonably, and come to a rational conclusion. So -- I don't quite know what to say. I think you have been misinformed, pretty badly I'll say. If and when you disagree with me, I will try and change your mind, without rancor or bitterness. If you agree with me, so much the better -- then we're on the same page, and can try to lead to action.
You didn't use the words I used, but let's be honest and agree that your headlines and tone of discussion is somewhat apocalyptic. This orientation/tone makes discussion difficult and unpleasant.Very strange, honestly. I have NEVER said the stuff that apparently you believe I said.
