A serious question for Sam Stone on Factual Errors

From:

My response:

Sam, I discussed partnering with you as a cohost to participate in the FOTR podcast via multiple PM’s. You literally were offered a platform in which you had greater control over content, presentation, and yes, feedback than here at the SDMB to present your ideas, free of attack/response/other by everyone excepting your cohost.

Your cohost would have been a professional who knows how to work with people, talk about shit, and is not interested in going through all the work and expense of starting a podcast just to embarrass you, Sam. Or even make it a painful experience. Why would I want that? I want it to work! I want money! Patreon subscribers! Merch! Not pain. Not to have you quit!

And so I tried negotiating with you, Sam, trying to find a format which would make you comfortable… and you declined.

And you know why you declined, I still have the PM’s, so don’t come to me about tedious attacks - I offered you a debate platform free of such.

Hell, if the thing had actually succeeded, you could be earning some real bucks by now. And you declined this opportunity for the very same reason quoted here.

You have imprisoned your own self, my friend.

And, frankly, to come to me, of all people, to say “no one has ever offered me a platform in which I can express my ideas in the manner in which I want” takes unmitigated gall. It is possibly the most insulting thing you have said in your two decades on the Boards.
