    I’m not saying it’s hard at all, I’m saying it’s time-consuming.

    So is “painstakingly hand typing” out a huge block of information about a person whose politics you aren’t sure about. Why wouldn’t you take the time to back up your claims with sources if you’re already spending so much time typing it up?

      And it would take much longer to go back and re-find my weeks and months old sources, I don’t see what makes so little sense about that. And that is not the standard of communication around here, which is the same standard you’re adhering to.

        It should be.

        Why the fuck would anyone just believe you? You’re just one person on the internet spreading lies about a political activist in an effort to discredit his messaging.

          No one should. That’s why I wrote that they shouldn’t believe me but do their own research in addition.

          I don’t know who you think you’re arguing with here if you missed that.

              Obviously I’d disagree. Between the two of us I would argue that I’m the only one who has brought even the slightest bit of verifiable evidence to support one of my claims.

              Correct me if I’m misremembering; but so far you only brought a single link that talks about Dan Saltman, which was entirely unrelated to my post or claims, which is what you’ve been aiming to refute.

              Not saying I’m drowning you in sources, but by my count 1 does beat 0 by a tiny bit.
