revelatory message/converting dislike

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.

Easily; a misinformed or ill-informed opinion is not valid. (Harlan's
law: everyone is _not_ entitled to an opinion; they are entitled to
an _informed_ opinion.) However, since William's opinion in this case=20
was about his own likes and dislikes, he could hardly be other than
informed.
