There’s the problem.
I’m looking at a specific topic, here’s a link for you: Trumpsters in the US Capitol building
The topic has a narrow focus, per the rules of P&E. It is about today’s events on Capitol Hill. It is not a debate about whether mob action is good or bad or violent or peaceful in general. If we are agreed, I will proceed to your post,
The discussion had a narrow focus on today’s events, per P&E rules, and I assume your posts do too. You didn’t actually point out JohnM’s hypocrisy (I can’t see any hypocrisy here). You made an argument going from the general to the specific,
- You are against all mob violence, and today’s storming of the Capitol is mob violence, so you are against today’s storming of the Capitol
In my opinion the general debate would have been off-topic, but the specific argument was on-topic. Now here in this Pit thread, you’re trying to tell me that you were making a general argument and my understanding of you is highly flawed.
Well, what did I get wrong? How is pointing out hypocrisy of other members in other contexts in any way related to your main argument that mob violence in this specific instance is wrong?
