> According to BBC the most popular accounts on Parler were people like Sean Hannity and Ted Cruz...fairly normal republicans of the kind that are still not banned on Twitter and Facebook (like the two persons I mentioned).
The two persons you mentioned as "fairly normal republicans" had their contact information carried by an armed terrorist who invaded the Capitol on the hunt for "bad guys": https://twitter.com/johnkruzel/status/1349061894418685953 https://twitter.com/johnkruzel/status/1349061894418685953
- LocalH 6y agoThat was a disingenuous quote, you merged parts of two different sentences as if they were one.
- user982 6y agoI used an ellipsis for brevity. Explain how that changed the meaning of the quotation into disingenuousness?

- Talanes 6y agoNo it's not. The ellipses in the middle are sufficient to denote that there is a trimmed portion of the quote, especially as this is a threaded post and you only need to scroll slightly up to see the unmodified original. There's no misapplied meaning created from the cut either, as the final parenthetical unambiguously clarifies that the subjects of the former sentence were part of the group of subjects in the latter sentence.
