One looks like astroturfing performed without a valid basis against cited examples shared in good faith, the other appears to be a mistake in analysis which I am pointing out in good faith. It’s probably an honest mistake, the history here is intentionally obscured by large-scale adversaries.
I do believe that the second is just a mistake and I do not intend it as an insult. I would appreciate it if you could please assume good faith with my responses and additionally hear me when I say it is in good faith a mistake of analysis. I think that his analysis is simply wrong, and my citations are evidence for why I think this is so.
The parent clearly says that it is hard to get a bead on what he is arguing. I tried to explain what people may hear or see and I do believe that some people might not be able to see the latter but only the former, fair or not, but I only endorsed the latter.
I guess I should make clear that I think the parent is simply mistaken and that I don’t think he is a shill. It’s not intended as an insult to say there is a mistake of analysis, as I said the topic is very difficult and also often very contentious.
Hard to coerce that into a "good faith".
Accusations of astroturfing are not allowed here.
