    Do you often make yourself feel better by inventing insulting fantasies about the people you talk to online? How could anyone expect to have a reasonable, good faith discourse with someone who speaks to others the way you do?

      Dude I’m super condescending, I know. Sorry if I was coming across insulting which I probably was. But the whole mindset of, we better dodge the paywalls every chance we get, (edit: which, whether it’s intended this way or not, might as well translate to) “lol get fucked people who produce the news who are going out of business left and right” irritates me.

      I think your mindset of (edit: corrected the quote) “I’ve been having no problem avoiding them for free for decades” and not being interested apparently in looking further into it than that, is harmful. I explained why, probably with more hostility than needed to be there. But I still think it’s harmful.

      Edit: Made some edits to try to be more fair minded about it

        I never said those things, and you’re assuming a whole lot about me and what I think while taking out your frustrations on me which is shitty. And you’ve already made your feelings very clear.

            Lol, you quoted me accurately, but I see no fairness. Just a lot of emotion and certainly nothing to back up the multitude of your claims.

            Frankly, after your outburst and your behavior m o don’t see why I owe you a second more of my time.

            Blocked.
