Hi Michel, Sam, all!
Last month (44 days ago) Michel Bauwens wrote:
My take on me and you being 'full of sh...", is that Stefan is largely
creating a straw man argument, so as to better defend the purity of his own
argument, while in actual reality, I do not think what we are saying in fact
undermines the key understandings of Oekonux, but rather refine it and make
it stronger.
Definitely.

language and meaning are described above, in my words.
I feel that there are also cultural differences coming into play here.
Especially the scale of what is rude or polite is heavily influenced
by the culture someone is used to. For instance I see absolutely no
reason for you, Sam, to interpret StefanMz' interventions in this way
- but I have the same cultural background as StefanMz.
Yet knowing about these things one is not immune against this trap.
For instance I fell into it two days ago :-( ...
Grüße
Stefan
