That's unfair, Will. We set out what we mean very clearly in that and distinguish between the progress of liberalism and a postmodern progressive movement. And no, we were not having a productive conversation because you insist on misunderstanding & misrepresenting me. Do better
When I first started talking to you a load of people DMd and said to stay away from you because you would do that & I should have listened to them. Please leave me alone now. I don't want to block you but enough is enough.
Thanks for unblocking me, but I don't see that I've misrepresented you. Vigorous debate in the marketplace of ideas is healthy. But if you'd rather not engage even with those critics who share your basic underlying values, I'll respect that.
That is a misrepresentation of what I just said which was certainly not that I'd rather not engage even with critics who share my basic underlying values. I'd rather not engage with you because you keep doing this.
Doing what? I don't think I've misrepresented you. I understand you think I have, and I feel the same way, but that's how disagreement works. You just keep clarifying until you arrive at a common understanding of the claims at issue. And I do think share your basic values.
I'm not going to keep clarifying that I don't mean something I have never said & which wasn't in anyway indicated by what I did say. If I said to you now "I understand that you don't like women having opinions" I'd be taking your approach & it would similarly derail conversation
