Thanks I think.
I'm guessing you're crediting me with the term rather than calling me one.

I actually borrowed and repurposed the term from Dan Cummins' historical conspiracy Timesuck podcast.

Crediting you, not calling you that. I like your presence here, even if you get yourself worked up.

Responding appropriately to liars and enemies does not require getting worked up.

The more they lie the more obvious it is and the easier my case is made.

Everyone misreads my creative writing and emphatic formatting for clarity as emotional. Don't make that same mistake.

You are human. You have emotions. If you didn't, you wouldn't speak your mind.

I don't deny that.

Me quietly typing away is not getting worked up, no matter how many times people make that mistake.

I think that is why people get their feelings hurt so easily online. They can't read people without seeing or hearing them.
