Don’t attribute to bad faith what is easily explained by stupidity! Commenter almost certainly wasn’t writing in malice.


Sorry, can't read minds. What I can read is the many other sub-threads where the "first amendment" point had already been addressed. Maybe if some new argument had been presented it would be easier to consider good faith, but not even an old one was. Just a casual dismissal, which is almost as bad as someone making meta comments more often than substantive ones.


The fact that we can’t read minds and operate on limited information is precisely why we rely on heuristics.
