So, you’re not interesting in responding directly to what I said about you misrepresenting this situation? You just want to link to some new material to talk about?

This presumes the person you’re responding to is even right wing. But I doubt you have any evidence, other than circular reasoning about their criticisms of Wikipedia.

What?

But I doubt you have any evidence, other than circular reasoning about their criticisms of Wikipedia.

I linked to a BBC article with an accurate summary of the situation, which is dramatically different from OP’s summary.

Innuendo Studios’ “The Alt-Right Playbook”

Oh, I got it. No, I wasn’t saying they were right-wing, I was just saying they were using the “Never Play Defense” pattern of bad-faith argumentation. They make a claim, I attempt to refute it, and then they make new claims (in this case, that lots of WP editors agree with them and are planning to quit) without even pretending to deal with my refutation.

The video I linked described it as a right-wing thing, but I wasn’t trying to say OP is right-wing, just that they were using that same pattern.

their response supports their original position. your accusations are just mudslinging

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

With all due respect, your pathetic brigading attempt has now resulted in a childish implicit death threat which was sent to my inbox. The mods here would likely not take it kindly after seeing the screenshot.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You should report that person and they should be banned. Not really complicated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure, except I would say that it's a stochastic result of your brigading attempt.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Just report it. Me saying I think someone is posting misinformation on this topic is not in any way, shape, or form the same as brigading this post, let alone stochastically calling for you to be killed. I would think that goes without saying, but apparently not.

Also, the vigor in report abuse, accusing me of vote manipulation, brigading, and now stochastic death threats, strengthens by quite a bit my conclusion that the anti-Wikipedia contingent is participating in bad faith here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

you're whole mo is to accuse other is engaging in bad faith which is, itself, bad faith

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

By your logic and on the other hand, your presumably "pro-Wikipedia" contigent are behaving not much different than the defenders of Theranos and perhaps Andrew Tate's fanboys either.

Shut the fuck up Musk shillbot

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

With all due respect you are a loser bot.

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem about eating fishpaste.

So you are the type of person, that downvotes every comment you disagree with, instead of just misleading/harassing comments. That's pretty sad...

I know there are people doing the same to you, but still...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

your accusations don't deserve a response
