I don’t know why you just keep confusingly adding your replies to mine in your original comment. Initially I thought maybe some misguided but noble desire for parsimony. Maybe it’s just a futile effort to rile me. It doesn’t really matter.
You’re an old hat around here. I’ve been enjoying your contributions for many years since the before times in the old BB forums even before Discus, let alone Discourse. I know you’re not some troll. Maybe you’re just spoiling for a fight. Maybe it’s a sign of the stressful times. I kind of get that, I’ve gotten more belligerent than I like in several recent threads. I’m trying to be mindful of that here and not go for personal attacks. I think you and I probably have more common ground than not on this issue. Perhaps I could have worded my reply to you more conciliatorily, but frankly so could you.
If you want to have a friendly discussion about the collateral effects of boycotts, I’m down for that. But if you want to fight with me, I won’t. I want to believe we are both better than that, but I know I am. I don’t care who’s to blame. I’m done fighting allies. We have real enemies and I’m focusing my energies on them regardless of what anyone else does.
Peace out.
