      ... a more in depth examination of the pros and cons and surrounding context of your efforts. I don’t deny you the right to explain your motivation but that doesn’t mean I have to uncritically swallow it.

      Ah! You've moved on from disagreeing with people who say we don't have an agenda to disagreeing with us about what we say ours is? Well, I can't do much about that. It never helps to argue with mindreaders. We are the only authority on our own motivations.

      That is exactly what is happening. Your agenda is in doubt, but I don't have a clear answer as to what that other secret nefarious agenda is.

      It depends where the other person is coming from. Usually, its that we're secretly reactionary rightists but after the socialists came out in support of us and we condemned Hungary's shutting down of gender studies, we've been accused of being Marxists & libtards again.

      A sign of the times and/or a sign that you have attracted a disproportionate amount of ideological followers. Nuance should be seen as positive tho, I wish more people were willing to piss off their audience in favour of honesty.

      Are you a liberal lefty? You sound like a liberal lefty. If so, this is all aimed primarily at you.

      Unsure afte previous confusion if this is aimed at me. If it is, I’d say I’m a centre left person. Certainly not far left.

      I also feel like your moving dangerously close to guilt by association.

      Yes. Too much of the "you've has conversations with someone who turned out to be a ideological loon."

      Turned out? Was Stefan’s nature in any doubt over the past decade? Again, this isn’t about being ideologically cloistered, it is about choosing to repeatedly happily converse with someone who ran a predatory online cult and is a fairy blatant misogynist/racist.

      You can disagree that that's a good thing to do. He also tries to talk to antifa and the most extreme feminists, BTW. But whatever you think of his judgement in that doesn't say anything about the project or his/our motivation in this.

          Did he repeatedly appear with extreme feminists/antifa advocates to bash the excesses of the far right? If so I would genuinely like to see that. I disagree it’s irrelevant. It speaks to his judgment and what he considers important. It doesn’t automatically impugn you or the ...

          Did you know he extended invitations that were refused, Chris? Did you know an attorney told him to quit inviting gender studies profs or it could be a Title IX violation of harrassment?

          I don’t doubt it. But I don’t think that is the slam dunk you believe it to be. Apply the same logic to the invitations issued by Denialists/conspiracy theorists/ideologues to their opponents. Does that mean they are interested in genuine engagement?
