1. The error in responses like this: assuming the world consists only of permanently committed right-wingers & permanently committed left-wingers, leaving no point to being persuasive, reasonable, or even correct; all is just a test of competing Wills to Power. I reject that.https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1105090761824133120 …

3. Neil's is the reasonable question, but since when will organizations like MMFA lay off anyone? The goal is to make their job harder, not to hope they go away.https://twitter.com/presjpolk/status/1105101988667277312 …

4. Luke 6:42 literally says to remove the plank in your own eye first, then fix your brother's - i.e., you can point out others' errors better when you clean your own house first. https://twitter.com/Carol61916613/status/1105060905048371201 …

7. In all seriousness, we expect commentators to be provocative and sometimes foolhardily so in ways we do not expect of public officials. Nobody in good faith could think Tucker should be fired for sometimes crossing the lines.https://twitter.com/physicsgeek/status/1105105243350712321 …

8. My view of apologies is, you apologize when you're wrong. It's not a complicated standard. https://twitter.com/norminthemiddle/status/1105108001147490304 …

9. I generally agree with this; I just seem to have a different view than others of when honor or conscience require an apology. https://twitter.com/BuckSexton/status/1104965895150059520 …

1./ You do not communicate effectively with persuadable people by offering disingenuous apologies or accepting the terms of humorless Leftists arguing in bad faith. You act like a man and have faith that persuadable people will have the sense to see things as they are in the end.

2./ To do less is an insult to the intelligence of the people you hope to persuade. Moreover it communicates a weakness both of mind and heart that is seriously off-putting to people worthy of their freedom.
