Dredging my comment history for rhetorical ammunition is rather creepy. I defended Moldbug's right to free speech because I saw no credible argument that he deserved to be punished for it.
I did get angry at the smugness of tptacek's dishonesty, which was obvious to me a priori. That was a moment of weakness on my part but has nothing to do with my choice to defend Moldbug, which I stand by until I am persuaded otherwise.

That is also true but I yet attempt to be objective and rational in the (rapidly dwindling) hope that reason and discourse will prevail over the coercion and dishonesty of culture warfare.

- Goladus 10y agoAll one can ever do is attempt to be objective and rational. I might have failed, but you certainly have not made a persuasive case, all you have done is fling poo.
