I wasn’t intending this as a criticism. I was merely trying to identify the difference in perspective.
I think the quote might make it seem that way—people often quote when they are rejecting a framing—to say that’s what they say, not me. However, I was just trying to indicate that I hadn’t come up with the phrase myself.
Thanks so much for clarifying! Sorry to have misinterpreted that.
I think this topic is particularly toxic for online writing. People can be intensely attacked for either side here. This means that people of positions feel more inclined to hint at their positions rather than directly saying them. Which correspondingly means that I’m more inclined to think that text is meant as being hints.
If you or others want to have a private video call about these topics I’d be happy to do so (send me a PM), I just hate public online discussion for topics like these.
