Given as the reason for not needing to mute. Because he isn't big. But this isn't about reach? What other way is that phrase meant? Height?
-
Big can certainly mean reach & it might do here. I'm not a mind-reader. I'm pointing out its given as a reason for not needing to mute.
-
Not as a reason for not talking to someone. We know James has talked to many small podcasts.
-
However, as a side point, whether or not someone is a significant influence depends on who they are influencing & whether you respect them.
-
Some big names among MRAs & alt-right have attacked me. I don't care coz they have zero influence among people whose thinking I respect.
-
This also isn't about attacking anyone. It is about having a discussion or ignoring a discussion based on being "big"
-
I ignore them when they try to have a discussion with me too. I'm ignoring a very big one right now. Nothing to gain from it.
-
Nothing to gain from discussion? Do you think both you and I will leave this discussion having gained nothing? If so, why bother?
