You misquoted (and apparently misinterpreted) Kim Christensen's quote, which said the former, as the latter, verbatim. And then you started to rant about "bizarre logic". I keep coming back to the "manipulative intent or cognitive limitations?" question. |

--- Quote from: ebastler on March 14, 2023, 11:12:30 pm ---You are evading the prior point, James. You had mocked the earlier post by Kim C. based on your claim that he supposedly equaled "questioning X" with "advocating X" -- which would indeed be contradictory. But you had either read is original post sloppily, or not understood it, since Kim actually started from a statement saying the opposite. You certainly misquoted him. I take it that you have realized by now that "questioning whether a law against X should exist" is not the same at all as "questioning X". I am glad we have achieved at least this little eye-opener. --- End quote --- You see, this is what the entire "free for all" section would be like. Just thousands of posts like this, but instead of electronics related it would all be about religion, guns, covid, politics, social justice, etc etc ::) |

I'd prefer to pay less for just Dilbert, and I'm absolutely sure I'm not alone. It's a poor business move IMO. $70/year for Dilbert is at the "do I really need it?" end of the pricing spectrum. And like it or not, Locals is seen as effectively a politically "right wing" place where all the rejects from Patreon and other places went. I'm sure there are countless left leaning Dilbert fans who just want to see Dilbert and don't want to, or would prefer not to be, associated with Locals. And/or don't want to pay a premium for other content they don't care about. Where is the "Just give me Dilbert" option? |

Either I misread something or you are going around in circles for reasons I'm unsure of. |
