11. You checking the original claim and me checking your response are not mutually exclusive, are they?

And if swallowing your pride manifests itself in you withholding your acknowledgement of being proven wrong or you declaring intent to use the ignore function (the two most common outcomes in my experience), there isn't much to swallow, is there? Not that I intend to affect your mental health in any way or to otherwise trespass on your privacy with unwanted attention - I wish you the best in that respect.

Something that you might clarify for me: how can one cast an aspersion on a party that had been implicated in the aspersion that you perceive? Wouldn't it be accurate to call it an offence? Granted, it wasn't me who implicated the organization, whatever they call themselves at any given moment, it was IDF. I merely questioned their identity, and I still do. But having established the fact that they employed Hamas operatives and at least one terrorist convicted of double murder, isn't the matter of who was first to question whom kind of moot?

I do, however, understand your desire to dwell on a moot subject - it makes efforts to avoid any mention of giving aid and comfort to known war criminals a bit less noticeable.

But I get it, that's just you.

I don't think "verifiable" means what you think it does. Or "facts". (nt) muriel_volestrangler Mar 2025 #18
I think both "verifiable" and "facts" means exactly what I think it means. (nt) Beastly Boy Mar 2025 #21
