I noticed. :) The arguments among the "green" accounts all have a similar incoherency. Looks like astroturfing to me. But I still can't bear to let them stand

But I still can't bear to let them stand because if you aren't privy to underhanded "argument" techniques, they sound mildly persuasive. I'm not arguing trying to convince the "greens," but rather the silent majority reading.
I don't say anybody ought to buy my products or Brennan's, but the unfounded accusations flying around are hilarious.
- adrianhoward 14y agoI don't say anybody ought to buy my products or Brennan's, but the unfounded accusations flying around are hilarious They're not amusing - because the silent majority might take them seriously. And I already have enough problems with developers and founders thinking that they just need to build it and people will come ;-)
- ahoyhere 14y agoI agree with you about the silent majority - that's the only reason I bother to show up here and argue. To represent. I surely don't believe I'll actually convince one of the aggressors that they're wrong. Ha! It's still kind of funny, though, to watch them twist and pivot their arguments, moving the goalposts and on moving sands, in order to prove that they are more "rational" than we are, we evil people who sell things.
