RD is a professional button-pusher. He does it cleverly, and for fun, and imo you fall into his traps, which are barely disguised, too easily.
He didn't in fact make a threat, and he never "claimed" what you say he did. Angry, you presented your own extrapolation as a quote.
Each time you fall for it, he's setting the agenda to discussions of absurdities he didn't utter, instead of discussion of assertions he actually made.
It may feel satisfying to your rage to say those things, but since this is all in print, it doesn't make sense in the long run.
Again: RD did not issue a bomb threat, but he tricked you by manipulating your strong emotions into defending a false claim that he did. He did not "claim" that the "the people who died in the towers deserved their horrible deaths," but he made inflammatory statements about American imperialism and tough traders that successfully inflamed you into claiming he did.
You could settle this with two links; but there aren't any that contain either the bomb threat or the "deserving their horrible deaths" quote you need, so really, don't waste your time. |
