What would be the point of clarifying to you if you jumped in with those assumptions? She doesn’t owe you anything. Blocking someone like that seems like the right call.
- kragen 5y agoYou say, "What would be the point of clarifying to you if you jumped in with those assumptions?" The assumptions under discussion were Hoy's (possible) assumptions, not assumptions I was jumping in with. On the contrary, as you can easily see from the thread, I approached the dialogue with an open and receptive mind, rather than imposing any structure of my own. But that inquiry evidently would have led somewhere that Hoy very much didn't want to go, leading to desperate efforts to smear me as "weird" in this thread eight years later. At least she's repudiated the position she evidently held at the time.
