In reply to yoryor.

That's not what "conspiracy" means. I wouldn't bother to point this out, except this general pattern — any and all bad predicates apply to people I dislike, none to people I like, because halo effect yay — seems to run through your posts above. You're not even particularly creative about it, projecting whatever pejorative is on the tip of your tongue without thinking about applicability.

I don't think you've done enough in this conversation to demonstrate your good faith. You've been very willing to criticize Watson and co. for heated rhetoric in this discussion, but not at all interested in criticizing Lindsay for much more heated and flamboyant rhetoric.Since most of your critique is based on subjective impressions ('they just feeel angry and ranty to me, dammit!'), which most other readers don't appear to share, it's especially important for you to do more to build credibility and trust in the course of conversations like this. You need to show at least as much intellectual honesty as the people you're attacking.

You've repeatedly claimed that Watson, Christina, and Myers called for Lindsay's termination. You've also repeatedly asked for specific factual errors in your own posts (then declared victory when you blanket-rejected proposed instances of these without argument). Well, in my last post I asked for evidence that those people had in fact called for Lindsay to resign / be fired. I notice this was the part of my response you opted to completely ignore, and I expect you'll remedy this, citing a source, or just apologizing if you were in error.
