Ok. So a sincere question. I am sure you do have a large circle of acquaintances as do David Chase and I
So in the spirit of absolute sincerity is there a middle ground anywhere between these two sides? I think the main issue is that it is complete agreement or complete disagreement. I loved the story of Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neil. There is no doubt they were politically opposites and yet they could take time to break bread and instead of the insisting of capitulation to the divergent opinions they sought the middle ground of accomplishment.
Is there any middle ground here? Or are we too fractured because od the political nature of this disease to find it?
There isn’t really a middle ground, no.
Your side has threatened people’s livelihood. Your side has corrupted usable data by playing fast and loose with case reporting. Your side has repeatedly lied. Your side has banned discussion of these matters from almost anywhere online. Your side has engaged in information warfare, hiding information from people and preventing rational discussions from taking place.
I don’t think this is political at all. Just because you guys started using the worst tactics of Democrat operatives doesn’t mean it’s a political issue. Many ‘conservatives’ placed their trust in folks like you. It remains to be seen how that works out for them. In the process, however, the credibility of much of your industry has been shattered in the eyes of many.
Normally, I’m all for making peace and finding a middle ground, but I don’t really see one here. Besides, the only middle ground you guys would ever want is complete capitulation from people who have zero trust in you. That is highly unlikely.
