@ggreenwald Do you not think, under the constraints of formal debate, purposeful discourse could be had between yourself and @SamHarrisOrg?

@SamHarrisOrg@ggreenwald I think that would be, in part, the point of the debate. Compromise would be necessary. Possible concessions?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg@ggreenwald Also, the question was 'do you think a purposeful discourse could be had?' (re: debate.) The demand is clear. -
@PhiloNatural Not absent a willingness to admit past errors. -
@SamHarrisOrg The point is subjective. I assume he does not think of them as errors. Though the possibility is remote, a debate may assist? -
@PhiloNatural There is no possibility that@ggreenwald believes everything he has said/spread about me. He's not an idiot. -
@SamHarrisOrg I don't fully understand that reasoning.@ggreenwald. Would you accept that Sam's point has some validity?

@SamHarrisOrg@PhiloNatural@ggreenwald I'm not being facetious, but why hold debate hostage to his unlikely apology? -
@StephenCEadon I can't collaborate with someone who behaves that badly (and continues to do it).
-
@SamHarrisOrg @StephenCEadon haha. You collaborated with Chris Hitchens, the Goebbels of the Iraq War. -
@poyannah @StephenCEadon Calling him "Chris" alone is sufficient to get you blocked. I won't comment on the rest.

@PhiloNatural@ggreenwald Will@SamHarrisOrg fully apologize for his dishonest and unethical attacks on Chomsky? -
@MWSwanton@ggreenwald@SamHarrisOrg Dishonest and unethical are too strong: Sam did not misrepresent Chomsky... -
@PhiloNatural Would it be honest and ethical to qualify all of@SamHarrisOrg's writings as "kool aid" after reading one interview of his? -
@MWSwanton@SamHarrisOrg No. I have spoken w/ Chomsky on the point: I agree with him! Nevertheless, Sam was not dishonest or unethical. -
@PhiloNatural So you do think it is honest and ethical to qualify the entire work of an author as "kool aid" based on one interview? Yes no? -
@MWSwanton I'm not an essentialist. There are shades which must be simplified for practicality. Are loaded questions ethical? -
@PhiloNatural disqualifying & misrepresenting Chomsky's 50 yrs of work after reading 1 booklet of interviews="simplified for practicality"?

@FreeSpeechOrDie@PhiloNatural I think the only thing less likely than an honest apology would be a fake one. Why would he do it? -
@SamHarrisOrg@FreeSpeechOrDie@PhiloNatural Why not list what you deem to be his 5 biggest lies, Sam?
