    I'll agree with you on "pitiful" -- this is one of the most embarrassing crashouts I've seen on this site.
    You couldn't just acknowledge that it is disinformation and move on with your life.

    I missed that entire exchange a while back, but agreed. Embarrassing. I was thinking about doing a thread about this, and it’s a good example: “if anything contradicts me, it’s biased.”

    So my citations are complete bullshit? YOU are to blame somehow: you don’t read carefully enough, you misunderstood, you’re biased, you’re a bad “interlocutor.” Basically, you’re doing something wrong, not me.

    It’s not that common, and not as blatantly obvious as in this example, but it’s common enough to warrant a little reflection.
