So, you’re not interesting in responding directly to what I said about you misrepresenting this situation? You just want to link to some new material to talk about?

This presumes the person you’re responding to is even right wing. But I doubt you have any evidence, other than circular reasoning about their criticisms of Wikipedia.

What?

But I doubt you have any evidence, other than circular reasoning about their criticisms of Wikipedia.

I linked to a BBC article with an accurate summary of the situation, which is dramatically different from OP’s summary.

Innuendo Studios’ “The Alt-Right Playbook”

Oh, I got it. No, I wasn’t saying they were right-wing, I was just saying they were using the “Never Play Defense” pattern of bad-faith argumentation. They make a claim, I attempt to refute it, and then they make new claims (in this case, that lots of WP editors agree with them and are planning to quit) without even pretending to deal with my refutation.

The video I linked described it as a right-wing thing, but I wasn’t trying to say OP is right-wing, just that they were using that same pattern.

their response supports their original position. your accusations are just mudslinging
