      Glenn Greenwald is right that attempts by powerful interests to use bots and social media to manipulate public opinion is dangerous.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1146777957672869888 …

      Yes because a private individual being targeted with direct physical threats is meaningfully analogous to nonsensical political tweets and memes that had no discernible impact on anything, great point as usual Jeet.

      Wait, Michael, you TOLD ME the direct physical threats to me were no big deal. You don't get to pick and choose who you care got threatened.

      Whatever “threats” you allegedly experienced were folded into a wild, unbelievable narrative which you then shamefully cited to justify your excursion to the FBI. When pressed for transparency on this matter, you have obfuscated and lashed out. So those are a few key differences.

      I didn't cite it to justify "my excursion to the FBI." It happened after I went to the FBI. The threats that happened BEFORE that were to my site and my readers' privacy, among other things. The local cops believed it was credible and contacted the FBI about it. They crazy too?

      Your credibility on this subject was obliterated a long time ago, because of your obfuscations, distortions, and flagrantly unethical conduct. As far as I know, GG has committed no such conduct. Another key difference.

          Hey Michael? When you can competently repeat back what I've said in public, then you can lecture me about distortion or obfuscation. Until then, just own your double standard about who it's okay to make violent threats to.

          There's no double standard. The standard is different in your case because of your own unethical actions. I don't say it's "okay" to make violent threats. I've objected the way you've used such alleged "threats" to deceive the public about the Russia story for several years.

          "because of your obfuscations, distortions, and flagrantly unethical conduct" should read "because you disagree with me"; that's more accurate to what you really mean

          Hey Michael, you dismissed the Reality Winner case as nonsense (or similar wording). Can you explain why?
