Since I arrived on Punatalk in March I have observed these inane exchanges between gypsy and a sizeable group of TMT supporters. (Never had much interest in the TMT debate; no strong opinions on it)
The gypsy-inspired dialog made me even less interested; most of gypsy's views are nonsense.
As everyone on Punatalk knows, the style of derision directed at gypsy by the TMT supporters has regularly been directed to other posters by some of these folks. A subset of the larger group of TMT supporters. A small subset.
Apparently they can't help themselves. That's their modus operandi: I disagree with you. Therefore you must be stupid.
This is what compelled me to write the sardonic Humor Section about 6 months ago. Quite a few Punatalk posters responded positively to that. As in: We know what you mean.
* * *
And the TMT critics at large won't break off dialog with gypsy. Talk about me being TL-DR. Some of the same inane circular debates have continued for months. 0 progress in the dialog.
Evidently some TMT proponents enjoy having a platform to toss out insults. If gypsy ever stops posting......
