I want to give a shout out to ProSense.

147. I'm disappointed that you would view this in this way

One thing that is certainly a matter of opinion is the relevance and salience of facts, in the context of a conversation.

I would like to say that I assure you that I was far more well-informed on the issues surrounding horse slaughter than prosense is/was, and that she would never have had a moment to realize that in her rush to brand a former Obama Fellow as an anti-Obama disruptor, but these things would be just my *opinions*.

You, or anyone else evaluating this contention would have to be the judge.

I really must insist that I made no "wild assertions" in those threads. Of course, this is still my opinion, but I do find the contrary position on that to be willfully unfair. The only "wild assertion" in those threads was that I had some sort of ulterior motive, other than being infuriated that two of the things I care most deeply about - animal welfare and the environment - have, in my opinion, been completely sold down the river/utterly neglected under this administration.
