re: #126 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)
I find there is a big a distinction in the level of civility between “your views are idiotic and those of a dipshit” and “you are an idiot and a dipshit”. But yes, his moments of reason and clarity have grown few and far betwen
I just don’t see that distinction. If your views are idiotic and those of a dipshit, it seems pretty likely that you are an idiot and a dipshit. Unless you’re smart enough to know that your “views” are that terrible. But that would mean that person would have to pretty damn awful/evil to continue following and spreading those views.
I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt by going with “dipshit,” rather than “calculated, awful person.”
