Well, I feel disappointed having written all that and only getting those parts responded to!

i don't think we're going to go anywhere productive if you're stuck on my calling it nothing and continue to ignore everything else i mentioned there - Kushner being a much more realistic subject and what the article was actually about. if that does not matter to you then no, we won't be getting anywhere.

I accept that very few minds will be changed by any arguments in this topic. Most of the arguments here can be traced down to some core beliefs that are not going to be changed in a few posts. I'm fine with that.

I simply took issue with how you were going to the extreme in throwing out "clickbait" and calling anyone who interpreted the article/quotes differently as ridiculous. I think the former is hyperbole and ascribing malicious intent where it doesn't necessarily exist and the latter is just pretty insulting and not grounded in any well-reasoned logic.

If you want to say that focusing on the self-pardon part was disappointing because you felt the other parts of the story were more relevant or newsworthy, fine. Cool.

If you want to say the self-pardon part is absurd and anyone who thinks it has any worth is ridiculous. Not cool.

I feel like you believe the first part and either see malice in it or can't believe/accept that some people might feel otherwise and therefore seek to claim and prove the latter aggressively.

Again, I like to think the best of people here, and I dunno, I just get the feeling that in that light you're just being overly aggressive in defending your opinion here and overreaching in the process.
