#5616·Jad Elmourad, about 4 hours agoAt some point, I noticed Jad had submitted his replies very quickly, with unusually verbose text, and in fairly rapid succession.
For the record, I was working in blocks. I would read all the criticisms available at a time, then think about how to address them together. So I was sometimes writing out the response for each criticism, but holding off on submitting them so that I can properly cross-reference between them. Then I would submit them all at the same time. This is the explanation for the rapid succession and what might have appeared as unusually fast typing.
Veritula discussion trees can’t accurately reflect problematic vs unproblematic ideas when unreasonable people are involved, see #5624. Submitting this as a fix. Jad agrees to terms, breaks them, then wants to argue the purpose and meaning of them. That’s arbitrary, ie the opposite of reason and Veritula. He will no doubt claim he was just trying to follow the Veritula method of addressing criticisms, but the effect is that he’s turning Veritula on its head in the process. There’s no point discussing with people like him.
