    That type of discourse will follow you if you’re the one generating it. I’m not willing to have a conversation with someone that wants to twist everything I say and argue incessantly about which definition of a word, or which frame of reference we should use. You have no intellectual integrity. Now leave me alone please.

      The terms we are using “left”, “progressive”, etc are full of ambiguity that can easily be mistaken for intentional “twisting” of what someone is saying. I don’t know how to deal with that without addressing those definitions. If you have any suggestions, I’d be happy to consider them. Also, if you want to be left alone, you are under no obligation to respond. Making statements then instructing someone to not respond is pretty shitty behavior, even if you say “please”.
