Hard News: The fake news problem, in reply to
I think I'm O.K., but that is not a popular view in some quarters.
The season is proving to be very challenging, and I am being very careful when I talk to other dairy farmers, most of whom are hard up against the wall in several ways , with no end in sight.
I am so out of step with most of the agriculture in Godzone, that I might be better to say nothing. That seems to apply here to.
But I was interested in this idea that it might be time to start talking to each other, and I thought that it might be possible without the usual logical fallacies ad nauseum.
Too soon to say really. But I seem to be wrong on all counts so far. -

It’s not so much that he is an arsehole, he’ s not a lefty , so he must be wrong , and he should just shut up.
Which is what a lot of the discussion has been about.
Just call him some nasty names and tell him to far cough.Don’ t waste your time talking to people with whom you disagree right.?
If they had half a brain , they would see things your way.
But seriously, were the facts being misrepresented? Was what I said that I read somewhere a blatant lie about the facts, or not? -

I did say that it was irrelevant. I did say that I read it. That was all that I said.

Thanks for that Simon. I did know that Trump won the only vote that mattered, and I have followed the process closely for many decades.
Don't pull your punches: just say what you really think. If it is too uncomfortable, then just disengage. -

If you show me that what I read was nonsense then I will believe you. You did not do that.
