https://www.minds.com/AzraelRand/blog/an-open-letter-to-the-alt-right-exploring-an-alternative-sol-887488448523096064 Decided to write down my thoughts on the Alt-Right movement as a whole. I know that Stefan isn't officially Alt-Right but he's pro reason and pro Western culture so close enough imo. Interested to hear this audiences' opinions on the article.

Hi @Elizabeth (dooh) @Elizbaeth That's an interesting insight you let me see, again. "never", "always"... such extremes without reference or context...oh, dear. You do realise it makes it hard for me to not see it as an exaggerated opinion, especially when it's factually incorrect. Meanwhile I don't mean to minimise your experience and I remain open to discussing specific things you might want to bring up. We'd had disagreements, very different approaches and maybe opposing working principles, sure a plenty (in my opinion). It's one of the main reason why I drastically reduced my contributions to your content after a while. What I normally do (if I perceive the other a capable individual for it) is to express my dislike, explaining it in a way that most likely going to make sense to the other person and ask for feedback/encourage it so that we are able to get closer in understanding at least, seeing what's what. And so, I recommend you did the same, based on how well it worked for me since I started doing it. I'm trying to remember when have you expressed this issue you started this post with... I don't think you have ever signaled that there was something off for you or that you couldn't make out the tone/meaning of something I had contributed and therefore would've liked to ask some clarifiers from me... In fact, in my recollections, I seem to remember you asking very few questions (which in itself is ok, i guess). The reason why I'm saying this is because I don't remember refusing to answer you and so what's the other alternative that we're left with? Is it possible that you've been holding back thoughts, experiencing the interaction based on solely your own interpretation? Am I way off about it? Now we're getting somewhere. (not cynical, actually surprised and relieved a bit) answering... Yes. That was a 'are you sure you knew what everyone here was thinking, the reason... etc?' compacted and down-throttled with a winking emoji to take its 'sharpness', hoping you would see the two (That's why the specific quote alongside) as a reminder that probably you've assumed something incorrectly about everybody, including myself. I'm not saying it never happened/happens to me, although probably you'd agree it's not a good thing to allow/do. Right?! Basically, yes. You can let me know if it made sense, or I'll try again. Fantastic. Yes. Hit the nail on the head. Funny, this clarifier could have saved you from asking all the others. I can't know for sure. That'd be mindreading territory. It's more likely than not. Probably yes if someone asked me to 'guesstimate'. See above, but my 'crux' was with someone confidently stating a knowledge claim about something they couldn't have possessed or acquired in any fashion other than interviewing each individual having read the thread. Moreover, in this scenario I am also involved (board member 'n all), read it ANNND I also have quite a few different reasons than what you'd assumed. But I didn't want to sound too stern so I decided to throttle down, make it gentle-cute reminder. (I guess it didn't work for you, against my best intentions... lol) Is it ok if I responded to the questions in this later? I had not planned to respond to anything else other than that section you wrote... hence why I only quoted the part with which I had issues with. - - - 14.09.2018 - - - Howdy 'doorbell enthusiast' (voter without merit). It's ok to step out of the shadows and make arguments... arrows aren't . But as always, it's up to you...

Hi @Azrael Rand Welcome to the board and posting! Why do you think people should read your piece, what's the value in it for them?

Thanks, at least it'll make people think about it. It's what I hoped for.

Sold. Checking it now... - - - 16.09.2018 - - - Howdy 'tickety-doorbell enthusiast' (voter without merit), getting desperate like the last time, huh? Well, still no argument... like the last month or so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
