re: Keith Olbermann suspended from Twitter

Nope.
That is not the "distinction."
Not remotely. Not close. Not even reasonably debatable.

Summarize my argument, because I don't think you are following it clearly.

Your responses seem to fall into a pattern. You get caught in logical fallacy

What's the specific logical fallacy?

quote:

then attempt to shift contextual paradigm while implying your foil just doesn't get it.

Res ipsa loquitur

In this case, the argument is no longer about a "distinction" which you yourself personally drew. Instead, you imply that as someone else previously brought up the subject, you should be immune from your own expressed musings on it.

---

What? This doesn't make any sense. If I take up another person's argument, and expand upon it in order to elucidate a specific difference, I become subject to other people's flip answers, which only seem to obfuscate? And I have to take those obfuscations seriously?

Look, I'm responsive to arguments, not flip answers, and I'll disregard the latter all day. I'm interested in arguments, and not any thing else. The poster in question is in particular very stupid, thus I treated him as such. In contrast, you've posed an argument here, and I take it more seriously.

I don't think you follow. Try again. Yes Musk travels with security. Why?

Why does one need a security detail?

---

Right, but given that BezosJet and ElonJet were both banned, and one had a credible threat, it's more likely that the banning was based on both this specific credible threat, as well as about the possibility of a potential threat more broadly. That's actually a more principled position and even application of the rules than Twitter under old management.

Summarize my argument

---

No need. The specific argument addressed is:

quote:

---

I asked a specific question asking what the distinction was from what Libs of TikTok was doing, and what the ElonJet account was doing. Apparently, the distinction is that Elon can choose to not allow one based on preferences, not any real principle.

---

I follow that crystal clearly. Is that not your post?

Now you are the one not following clearly. Summarize my argument.

---

In some instance certainly. In this instance you are "subject to" your own answer.

it doesnt matter what you think.

Bottom line

quote:

You are obsessed with Musk defending himself

---

Hes been given orders. He has to.

quote:

---

As are many of the “arguments” you have made. Ignorantly asking how this is different than Lina of tik tok? Yet you demand to be taken seriously and dismiss others as “very stupid”.

---

Well, he's very stupid based on prior interactions. I can definitely admit that I'm a poor writer, so it will take me multiple posts to express my argument fully, but the question I wanted to answer was whether Musk would apply the changes in the TOS evenly, or whether it would be selective. I actually think it is more likely that he will do the former, which is a very good thing for the platform.

When you have Crazy and Hank in the same thread, you realize white people are very unimpressive.

You are pretending as if ALLLLLLL this shite is happening in a vacuum.

For the purpose of testing a principle, that's the easiest way to frame an argument, is it not?

quote:

---

Bottom line: Elon Musk bought Twitter and is cleaning all the rat shite out of the house.

He does not have to be nice or even-handed about cleaning up an inarguably, Leftist-biased platform.

---

Well, being even-handed is my own preference, but I can see the argument that since banning under previous Twitter management was not even-handed, any attempt by Musk to correct it would be seen by those leftists as an attack on free speech. I've read tweets where people are calling him authoritarian and comparing him to the Chinese Communist Party and their attempts to limit access to social media, which is utterly ridiculous.

Erm…

quote:

Twitter under old management was a tool used to persecute people engaging in "wrong-think".

Youre talking to people who have no concept of this because their precious media didn't inform them.

These people don't believe anything until their "side" reports it.
