Urth Digest, Vol 57, Issue 16

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.

John, you are the peacemaker, so I bow to your authority as such. I will make no more war against Daniel and his people.

But, really, if you don't know about something, you Google it. Why respond to a serious post with nothing but "WTF"?

Governments apparently have strange powers. The extreme right pretends to consider the government useless, a parasitic appendage, and yet they say it must be got out of the way before anything good can happen (but they never will). How is this possible?

Answer: They know only enough about the topic to keep themselves pissed off, and to identify one another in online forums, and to erect barriers of noise against everyone else who wanders along.

David., is the assumption you're making about Daniel's reading habits
warranted?

I am not a fan of the argument that those who disagree with one must simply
not be readers.  There are claims that justify that assumption, but most of
them are not ideological in nature.
