His FIRST mistake was responding and trying to engage in a discussion.

It was downhill from there.

Ironically, I just exposed myself in a discussion about ‘opinions’ and made a few of my opinions known once it was clear that some positing their own were either clearly biased or disturbed that others would have an position challenging their own.

I laid it out that my positions were not opinions. His mistake was not taking a position on the matter.

The response to his truth is exactly as I outlined, an ironic reinforcement of my position on the matter: Outrage and confirmation bias guide the emotionally-weak.

Sadly, he let his opinion be defeated by irrational outrage: He victimized himself.

If truth breeds controversy & conflict, I’m loaded for bear. Crews is pathetic.
