> Participation is a discussion usually implies an interest and a willingness to spend your time considering various arguments. My only posts in this thread have been to explain why I flagged the post and why I feel it's valid to dismiss the author based on his other views. The author's position on masks is that he's too precious to comply with local laws, that businesses complying with said laws should be boycotted, and that executive orders aren't actually laws so he isn't bound by them. The first two beliefs are merely antisocial; it's the last claim that causes me to place him in the crank category. > If you only limit your exposure to arguments made by people who agree with you in other domains then I have to assume your interest in this space is not very high. My political beliefs are sufficiently bizarre that at best few people agree with them; if anything, he and I probably have some beliefs in common.
