The 'fairness' of brees' comment was not the subject. Your side tried to make it the subject, the orginal one being embarrassing, by arguing in effect and ad infinitum that if you could extrapolate and draw conclusions about a person, and generate a demonic characterization of them on the basis of your extrapolations, it was not necessary to present the characterization as your own, but was perfectly fine, according to your values, to claim that the person had themselves "repeatedly mentioned," about themselves, what you had concluded (extrapolated) about them-- for example, that they had a "distaste" for "human values," "truth," "justice," etc. One does not, in respectable society, make stuff up about someone and put it into their mouth. That is a disreputable (or exceedingly dumb) thing to do, and should be immediately recognized as such and condemned by all. Of course if anyone shows a post in which X mentioned her own distaste for truth, justice, human values, etc, as brees claimed she did, I will retract immediately.
