I was NOT deriding your tireless work,

Well, here is what you said: And who amongst us knows what countermeasures work against such subterfuge and can teach it? I don't know of anyone; do you?

I think I interpreted the prose correctly. I suspect that when you referred to "who amongst us" you were thinking only of conservative pundits and leaders observable in media, believing yourself and the rest of us incapable of elevating anyone. We could, but that cuts to your other point about conservatives being individuals. Good thought btw.

The thing is, those newly informed minor bureaucrats have to be able to keep their jobs.

That takes a job market for their respective skill sets. I have devised tools to create such an industry as you know. Of course, there might have to be a bit of reeducation before they'd be employable. :-)

We live in much nastier times.

Indeed. One of the recent visitors to my site was from the California Department of Technology.

Egad man, how? I know you have been collecting facts and proving your theories, but have you been offering a course on counter-Prog tactics? I'm talking about countering such tactics that previously would charge you with falsehoods, shout nonsense just to drown you out, and suddenly change schedules and venues so you don't even get to attend or be published. Short of training snipers I mean.

Countering an opponent gives the opponent control of the battle. I'm more a fan of "first you win the argument" with content instead of tactics.

Post the truth before they charge. Gain the agreement before those offering it know what they've done or whom they have backed. Use that opening to teach more of the remaining content. By then, and particularly when my motives are undeniable, nobody will believe the shrill in the room.

I don't go in expecting a war, but knowing that the desires of those who would oppose me can be redirected. They hate corporate crooks as much as anyone. For them to learn they've been used is a major shock. Upon learning that, some have even quit their jobs. So it is a matter of redirecting energy, not countering it.

Maybe I'm just over the hill, but I have no idea what this means.

Look, I pray your technique succeeds. It is the civilized way. Thus, there's the rub. What I warned Don of at the bottom of 17 certainly pertains to you.

Strike civilized. [cringes]

Make that “the rational, the right, way.”
