What would you have if not ad hominem?
It's one thing to use that fallacious tactic on a general SM site, but do you really think it's a net gain here?
I would almost pay for an intellectually honest debate on these subjects. It's been years.
Oh, if you have a substantive argument feel free to share, just figured you were leading with your best.
- torlok 2y agoIt's not an ad hominem. Matt Taibi was fed partial information by Musk, and decided to publish it anyway, losing all credibility in the process. And even though the data was hand-picked by Musk who had the biggest axe to grind, it ultimately proved nothing beyond the fact that Twitter was receiving numerous requests from all sides of the US government, and that they would scrutinize every request and respect only some of them. Going back to the original claims you have made, Taibi's reporting only showed what was happening before Musk took over, not after, so it doesn't back you up. Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I'm just blown away you ate this journalistic slob up without any critical thinking.

Do you think that's any kind of cogent defense? You and I both know that you're carrying water for a corrupt government. The only question is your motivation. Sorry if I sound harsh.
