Mr. Crazy, let's hope for your sake that this is not the case.
That never happened.
I don't remember if Mr. IngaVov wrote "lying about sexual assault" or "lying about rape". It seems a minor quibble in context. Otherwise, of course I do think that many females have used this tactic in support of Democrats/opposition to Republicans. Do you disagree?
Then you've misinterpreted those "signs". I don't aspire for you or anyone else to perceive me in any particular way. That would be in contradiction to the pursuit of good-faith dialogue, Mr. Jack.
"It's a very effective tactic that Democrats/Democrat supporters have used before to achieve their political ends."
On Ford: the only female friend who Ford claims was present at the small gathering---who last year admitted she had no recollection of the event and never knew Kavanaugh---now says she "has no confidence" that the event happened, that Ford's classmates pressured her to change her story by threatening her reputation, and that the story "just didn't make any sense".
So there's yet another nail in the coffin. Will you be a "rationalist" (as you call it) and update your level of confidence in Ford's accusation being true?
? You have thrown around terms like "conservative movement" repeatedly without defining them in any kind of careful way. You must know that this serves to impede dialogue since many people identify themselves as "conservative" and perhaps part of such a "movement" yet don't affiliate with the particular people you're attaching them to. That's not a "baseless personal attack" against you. It's a based suggestion for you to improve.
It's also ironic because I've seen you take umbrage when other posters attack "the left" for unethical behavior. Those people are committing the same error you do. As a person who does not affiliate with a tribe (well, other than
@Limbo Pete's) and who has read your posts extensively over many years, your approach and that of people such as Ben Shapiro look like two sides of the same coin: define amorphously the in-group/good guys and the out-group/bad guys, then defend and attack respectively.
Is this something that any poster can do, Mr. HereticBD? I would like to submit such a request.
