“Apparently you think you know more than me. You don’t.

I am old enough to be your grandmother, so I know a bit more than you.”

You’re right, you’ve lived far longer and almost certainly know a lot more than me.

“ I am not going to change my mind about this individual.”

I wasn’t trying to convince you to. My question was regarding the effectiveness of the specific suggestion by Caitlin that you voiced disagreement with.

“ Funny how others have made derogatory remarks about her, and yet you seem to target me.”

I’m not sure what you mean by “targeting” here, but I haven’t made derogatory comments about anyone involved, neither you or Caitlin. I’m certainly targeting you with my question, because it’s a question about what you’ve written, so there’s no better person to ask than you.

“…you would get my drift if you were a citizen of these states”

I understand completely why you would find individuals such as Mike Cernovich repugnant. I also view such people with disdain, regardless of which country I’m from or which country they’re from.

“ Pardon me, but have you not read any of my responses?”

I went back and read again your responses to me and other people about your post, but no one had asked the question I did regarding effectiveness, and you still haven’t addressed it. You also haven’t made any comment or refutation regarding the distinction between supporting an individual or just working with them towards a shared goal without endorsing them.

“ You keep on trying to reason with me, when I have SPECIFICALLY told you my feelings and intentions.”

What you’re doing here is making this about you and how it makes you feel, rather than making it about Leftist goals and how best to achieve them. That’s your choice, and you can also dislike whomever you choose to, but in a discussion regarding the effectiveness of strategies to achieve Leftist goals, none of that has any bearing.

A course of action will either help to advance a goal, or it won’t. You attacked Caitlin’s suggestion on how to advance Leftist goals but you never once gave an analysis on why it would or would not be effective. You didn’t even seem to consider it. The sum total of your commentary amounts fundamentally to “Bad people are bad and I don’t like it”, which is not at all helpful, or really even relevant.
