I am neutral on this issue. At this point my personal opinions have been widely exposed so everyone should have clear perspective on where I'm coming from, which I'm more than happy to provide. But even with this reply, you seem to be persisting in the claim that I'm not neutral as it relates to this EO on immigration based on the fact that I voted for Trump and/or that I recognize a strong anti-Trump bias in the media. That's what's grating here. You're saying that you don't intend to shame or denigrate, but then you make claims that appear intended to discredit me based on my opinions on unrelated issues, like media bias. A vote for Trump does not automatically mean one endorses/agrees with every action he takes whilst in office, nor does acknowledgement of the mostly blatantly biased and hostile reporting in modern history. Anyway, I do appreciate the apology and your participation in the discussion. Echo chambers are very tiring, and HN is one of the only places one can come and have this type of debate with only the minor downside of losing 50 karma overnight. :P
