General Discussion

when some things just aren't that clear-cut, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just life. And when it's based on information I know to be incorrect, I can't help needing to pipe up because a bunch of people (maybe, God help them) read our screeds, and the infosphere is so full of malevalent and sometimes state-sponsored bullshit already. I've never interpreted anything you've written as malevolent, but as we joshed about upthread, these convos do seem to draw in quite a mixed bunch sometimes!

I'm positive I get up a number of DUers' noses too. In fact, I've been told as much in no uncertain terms at times.

I know I sometimes go in hard on you and can't keep the snark out of my tone in the heat of ideas, and I've always been impressed that you've never risen to it on a personal level.
