Did I say they were invalid, or that I no longer trust him and would need to corroborate with other sources? I swear people on the left either have really bad reading comprehension, or just make a habit of twisting and distorting other peoples' words as a default tactic. I'm leaning towards the latter explanation at the moment, though I go back and forth.

> And, now, thanks to that, I doubt everything else you wrote and will have to corroborate it with sources I trust more.

You just shut down debate very hard there, and by corollary there's really no point to be gained in arguing with you any more as well.

Sorry, but saying I don't trust your paragraph of claims because I know at least one of those claims is grotesque and false doesn't shut down debate. More importantly, the point needs to be expressed. No one should get away with a statement like that unquestioned.

The point can be made and the statement can be questioned without mindlessly discarding everything else the person said.

What you're looking for is very clearly a simple way to discredit everything coming from someone if you can find one gotcha.

That will be a very successful way to never have to challenge any of your opinions since nobody is infallible.

I feel again like you're not comprehending what I wrote, and I'm going to assume you're not intentionally being dishonest in doing so.

> without mindlessly discarding everything else the person said.

It's a good thing I didn't do that.

Funny because I don't have a strong opinion either way on how badly Musk has behaved relative to the Twitter acquisition, so there is no opinion of mine to even protect. Again, you don't seem to understand what the following statement means: "I don't trust what you're saying and will have to corroborate it with other sources". Because it definitely doesn't mean what you think it means.

> I feel again like you're not comprehending what I wrote, and I'm going to assume you're not intentionally being dishonest in doing so.

The feeling is quite literally mutual, unless this is some incredibly effective sarcasm and irony that you've written.

I was with you until your last word, as infallible, according to my conservative sources, is a liberal dogwhistle.

And, now, thanks to that, I doubt everything else you wrote and will have to corroborate it with sources I trust more.

He said reprobates and racists. Only you took that to mean 'republican'.

Interesting that.

The only people mindlessly, and without evidence, calling others racists for the past 30 years are Democrats in reference to Republicans. My inference is not even remotely a stretch or controversial and is likely 100% correct.

Furthermore, did you look at any of my links or read any of what I said? Twitter was extremely left-biased and the internal docs prove it.
