I don't control their poor word choices. They introduced the claim that Ed is "attempting neutrality" and that they (OP) have "Cognitive Empathy".

I don't see it as an attempt at neutrality.

These are not my chosen terms, I'm merely responding to the posters chosen terms and assumptions.

I don't see Ed's decisions as "attempting neutrality"... And I don't understand having empathy for a lack of empathy (aka taking money to deny the genocide). I don't have empathy for that kind of "neutrality".

    It's not a poor choice of words unless you are going out of your way to interpret it. The post literally talks about understanding and not agreeing. You have to bend over pretty backwards to claim that's me endorsing his position at all.

    Let's nail down the facts:

    1. Your post is claiming Ed is making a good faith attempt at "staying neutral".

    2. Your post title says you have "Cognitive Empathy" for this.

    Now is just 1 true, 1 & 2 true, or is just 2 true?
