I'm curious why you phrased your comment so dissimulatively when everyone knows exactly what you're suggesting.

- spodek 10y agoI had to look up "dissimulatively" and found "To conceal one's true feelings or intentions." If that's what you meant, I didn't conceal anything. I have no special evidence so couldn't present anything that most readers don't already know.

- anigbrowl 10y agoVagueness makes it easier to discuss things in terms of abstract principles, whereas direct accusations establish an adversarial frame that often results in conflict. If one hopes to prevail through reason rather than force it behooves one to focus on principles rather than personalities.
