    i'm not trying to convert anyone. you are. which you do constantly.

    but for any reader who pops by, and the OP where this began before i interrupted your usual spiel, to know right away what you are.

    again, you're being upped by the choir, mate. i wouldn't puff my chest out about that.

    but dude, the point is, get it all out clear in the open. that's all.

    you love the gulags and the authoritarians. just lead with that. i'd find it much more honest than what you do now.

    this is coming up better in the other thread, so lets continue to focus there.

    as for who i do this for, it's always for the pursuit of and elucidation of truth, for myself and for any who may find it useful in their own lives.

    i'm not going to overly commit if i think you're full of shit, deluded and/or acting in bad faith.

    except i'm not trying to do any of what you seem to be accusing me?

    the whole point is to get more of the truth out, wherever it lands.

    i'm not the ideological one. you are.

    this is nothing more than a social interaction.

    well, my intention today was not to question communism or defend capitalism. it was a contention that you were being disingenuous.

    and while i still don't agree with some of your conclusions in how you use your data, i am softened in my assessment of you.
