You don't have to agree but you can't call people NSA shills and you can't tell people they don't know what they're talking about. That's just how this forum works - don't put that kind of thing in your comments. It's not a high or difficult bar to meet.
I did not intend, nor do I think I called the parent an NSA shill. If it comes across as that, I apologize.
The parent clearly says that it is hard to get a bead on what he is arguing. I tried to explain what people may hear or see and I do believe that some people might not be able to see the latter but only the former, fair or not, but I only endorsed the latter.
I guess I should make clear that I think the parent is simply mistaken and that I don’t think he is a shill. It’s not intended as an insult to say there is a mistake of analysis, as I said the topic is very difficult and also often very contentious.
