re: #352 Obdicut

Take all the breaks you want. My opinion is not going to change. What you’ve written is a caricature of San Francisco that doesn’t engage with the actual social or political history of San Francisco. That history is actually interesting. I’d suggest you read up on it.

I’m not asking to change your opinion.

I will post the letter I receive from the people I referred to earlier. Notwithstanding their expertise, I do not expect you to change your opinion at that point either.

Again, I will reiterate.

One need not be a historian to make behavioral observations.

Allow me to restate what was said earlier.

My references were in part my own and in part those of others who are probably more familiar with SF history than even you are.

As for being taken seriously I can say with great certainty you are not qualified to make that assessment.

You state my historical take is incorrect. Perhaps you are right. Perhaps not.

I can cite examples of your assessments as being incorrect. Thus, I am reluctant to take your interpretations at face value.
