That has been his hobby horse for many years now, and these have been his methods. Or am I the only person who remembers shityudkowskysays.tumblr.com?
The statement you were responding to was: ‘According to XiXiDu, “she believed it would be unlikely for her to produce an article that would be satisfactory to both her and SIAI”.’ You expressed doubt as to this, implying Kruel was lying.

It’s not clear that this constitutes a worthwhile mode of discussion.
