Motives and interpretations could be imputed [like they used to be in the cases of "anti-soviet propaganda"], and it is not a route any self-respecting human ought to take.

LOL!

I suppose that when you get an email from Nigeria, you simply take it at face value, becuase questioning motives is not something "any self-respecting human" should do.

Would you be interested in purchasing a bridge?

The only way to consider it is on merits, aside of what one could think of "motivations" etc.

When someone characterizes the founding of the state of Israel in passing as "myths" how do we assess the "merits" of that rhetoric?

We acknowledge it for what it is: hostile propaganda.

This is an opinion piece - it would never have been written if its writer was not motivated by an agenda.

Absolutely true. I take Nigerian e-mails on their merits: as I haven't had any dealings with anything even remotely connected with Nigeria [and do not want to], I see that there are no merits to any "contract payments" etc. from that quarter. And no, I am not buying bridges, either, and for the same reason.
