I'm not yet living in the world I'm advocating.
If I were an anti-Putin Russian advocating a world in which everyone could safely use real-name accounts for their anti-Putin propaganda, you wouldn't argue that my advocacy was false or insincere, just because I was using an anonymous account, now would you?
- tptacek 13y agoAhh, the old "my comment would make perfect sense if only we weren't talking about Earth" gambit.
- Confusion 13y agoMy comment only makes sense in this world, since it advocates a combination of changes that would lead to a different world. If I wanted to retract what I wrote or backpedal on it, I would edit or delete it. I would not need to play any 'gambit' nor would there by any point. What's the point of that if I leave the post up? I'm explaining that I intended something different from your interpretation and all you're doing is keeping hammering that your initial reading must necessarily be right. Why would I bother?
