The Politics Of Gene Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I disagreed so much with the first paragraph's foundations that I didn't bother with the rest.

And I see no reason to kill the thread. Not like there was anything going on here for a couple of weeks.  Just ignore the thread if you don't care to read it.  On a msg board I visit daily, I ignore 98% of the crap.

I do figure that we'll all fail to convince each other of anything though. :(
