Awesome, the unexplained downvote. There is factual content in my post, with cites, and yet someone would rather bury comments that challenge their worldview than debate. I guess we are dealing with libertarian idiocy then.
- xnull2guest 12y agoI didn't downvote you. I actually think I probably agree with your point(s). And I'm exactly the liberal populist kind of guy who perfectly fits into the most sympathetic of audiences. But I have trouble trying to understand your point(s) because they seem to meander a bit, almost like you're trying to say too much with too few sentences. And the comment starts off with a paternalistic tone and with an quasi-insult. It looks like there could be really good information in there - I'd love to give it an upvote if it were unpacked a bit, and cited and argued more clearly.
- noelwelsh 12y agoThank you for taking the time to respond. You are absolutely correct that my tone was off putting and I was not clear in the argument I was making. I have updated my post accordingly.
