> [@FCorelli](#): > > Total non-sequitur. Word play. Deflection. This is how it’s done It’s called context. Greta is a controversial figure. Controversial figures get treated differently. Sometimes they are protected. Sometimes they are arrested. Often that treatment comes because they are controversial rather than for the specifics of what they believe in. If she is truly being weaponized by a conspiracy of socialists then IMO there should be a consistent pattern of behavior supporting that. I don’t see it. But that’s really besides the point. You folks are asserting Greta is being “weaponized”. It’s on you folks to support that assertion. If you folks can’t, just say so or walk away. ---

> [@FCorelli](#): > > Total non-sequitur. Word play. Deflection. This is how it’s done Well, an accusation was made. I spent 20 minutes searching for a single example of it and found none. A request was made for verification, and none has surfaced. So it would appear that is there is any word play, deflection, or non-sequitur involved here, not to mention false accusation, it would be on you or the captain. Of course if you are able to verify the statement I will apologize and retract - as you should do if you are going to make baseless charges, but then I expect honorable behavior and this is, after all, the internet. ---

Once again an example of someone reading with the intent simply to respond and not with the intent to understand. I’m not doing the internet word game thing. Your response completely missed what my post was addressing. No surprises there. You wanna start a new idea? Start a new thread. Don’t drag me into it. As far as not responding to what someone apparently asked for… I am not strapped in front of the machine all day getting a bio-physiological reaction to respond to everything someone else posts. IOW: I didn’t see it. BTW… lots of good flag words and “marketing” there. Not taken as an honest attempt at discussion. Taken as just another a personal attack that fits the ambience. Have a nice day ---

Just out of curiosity, were you or the captain at any point in this thread interested in an honest discussion? Sure doesn’t look that way. The OP was about plate tectonics. Then all of a sudden, monkeys started throwing poop. ---
