I hope you guys won’t mind my responding to something that you guys seem to have already moved past. But I’ve seen this a lot, and have avoided addressing it. And this one particularly bothers me.
He never argued that. Here is what he said in that thread:
This isn’t an invalid point. You don’t just evaluate safety systems when they are working correctly. You should also look at the failures. And he’s far from the only one suggesting that Hollywood should shift away from using working firearms on set.
Did you comment on any of that? No. You just took that last line completely out of context, and then mocked it in a disingenuous way. You’re the one who comes off like you didn’t have a good argument.
And then in this thread, ASL just pitted you. He’s not saying he’s right because he cares about human lives more than you. He’s calling you a sociopath (obvious hyperbole) because the mere mention of her humanity caused you to flip out. It’s bizarre.
People have done that to me, too. I will make a point, and a single line will be taken out of context and then mocked, rather than engaging with me honestly. It sucks. I’m glad that, for once, the person got modded for it. I’m less glad that they didn’t seem to realize they screwed up.
