It's not a slur, it's a genuine question. If your answer is 'they are systematically over-inflated so my responses will tend to undercut theirs,' then fine. (I may disagree, but OK.) lowballing by misquoting (not tooo badly) is another matter, and perfectly legitimate to question
Nick. As i said calling me part of an anti-NGO crowd is a slur. It signals to people who are working within NGOs that I am anti them and they should be anti-me, and suspicious of my motives. And it has been said again and again.
