I think that you should stick to factual claims rather than trying to infer my mental state from my comments.
- dane-pgp 6y agoI'm sorry if it sounded like I was trying to put words into your mouth, I was merely trying to account for any possible objection. Hopefully my point would have worked just as well if phrased: "Even if you think that there is nothing suspicious about all this... (and even if you think that all online advertising is a waste of money...) I think that a claim of the story unravelling requires at least a citation". My aim was for people on different sides of this issue to have a chance to present their cases, so that we didn't give the impression that this was a settled matter that everyone agreed on. If you do think there is something suspicious about CA's actions, and/or you think that online advertising can influence the way people vote, then I'm pleased that we agree on some premises at least.
