Maya Forstater

"As do many, I often wonder what your true agenda is" I can exclusively reveal Maya's shadowy agenda: getting things right.

I'll just take it as my annual reminder that its not worth trying to have a conversation on Professor Murphy's blog. It is striking that members of the Tax Justice movement, NGO allies, sympathetic academics etc... also tend to steer clear.

Dan, the manner in which you rip into TJN is far more aggressive and insulting than RM"s post above - which seems pretty tame to me. And Maya"s casting aspirations above at least as significant and mean (and wrong from what I've seen). Bit of perspective needed methinks

Show me a case where I've responded to an argument by questioning someone's motives and ignoring all the substance.

This is all very "Man City": bemoan lack of protection from referees and then go in on opposition with studs up and two-footed tackle. #glasshouses
