You can carry on debating that in this thread if you want but it will ultimately be shut down, take it to sc as there's one already there.
The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

You realise there are people much smarter than you who hold different views, don't you? How are you that ignorant while claiming otherwise?
Some of you should pay attention to this, especially the last part. All you do is throw stones.

Every day i find it truly astonishing that the USA went from electing that man. That articulate, intelligent and honest man, to electing Donald ***** Trump.
I expect so, yes. Thank you for that epiphany Sherlock.
Views regarding Brexit being anything other than an absolutely monumental, self-harming catastrophe for our country however?
No... The damage is done, the data is in, and the evidence is now undeniable. It's not really subjective opinion any longer and finally most people have woken up to the fact that the Emperor has no clothes on.
Still, if there actually is anyone left still banging the pro-Brexit drum who doesn't have some kind of personal vested interest in it, in spite of the economic and political damage it's now glaringly obvious to have caused us as a nation; then they're either incapable of evaluating the evidence critically, or they're unwilling to do so when it comes to this topic for whatever reason.
But as always, feel free to pop into the relevant thread and prove me wrong with data, evidence and rational argument.
I don't even know what you mean by this. Can you be more specific?
What exactly do you think that I'm ignorant of, that I've claimed not to be?

lol I really dont think what he saids means what you think it does.
Because, to follow the theme of the thread; Tony has caught the woke mind virus.
@Sankari is gender critical and has plenty of posts on the topic both in a thread that vanished on here and in the other one in SC, having GC views is a perfectly legitimate positon (one held by various feminists on twitter etc..) but in Tony's mind criticising an ideology = hate.
This stuff was fixed pretty quickly though, right? I mean at break-neck speed compared to how quickly something like this might've been fixed by the old Twitter. I think you know there are going to be some teething problems when big changes happen at pace, but it's really how Twitter looks in 6-12 months that will matter.
Won't go into Brexit for obvious reasons, glad you recognise there are people able to effectively weigh up the evidence who come to different conclusions though.
You're ignorant because you think everyone capable of making smart informed decisions agrees with you, that isn't the case. In most controversial subjects in recent times there have been smart people on both sides of the argument.

If you wish really hard, write it on a note and send it to santy Claus, and if you've been a good boy, maybe he'll get you it for Christmas.
In the mean time, unfortunately you will continue to daily post stuff that brings us all laughs and joy as we read your stuff.
My post from yesterday still applies. Take a chill pill, go be a hero and save others lives so that you can boast about it in this thread. You're so desperately trying to win over acceptance and praise from users in this thread, you're just mocking yourself with the stuff you're coming out with now.

A security risk? Because people capable of taking down a plane or overcoming airport security to get at him definitely won't be able to search the Internet beyond Twitter?

I've never understood the issue with this - the fact he owns 4 private jets and their registrations are public means anyone can track them for free at any time. The someone chooses to publish this specifically is no different to someone else using google for 30 seconds to find out where his planes are.

Well yes, about something that's subjective; of course. If something is objectively true and I've ended up at an incorrect conclusion after having evaluated the evidence, then I've evaluated that evidence poorly, or somewhere along the line, I've reasoned poorly.
It's a bit of a redundant point really, because surely that's obvious? But anyway...
Are you sure you're understanding of the word ignorant is accurate? Being ignorant of something simply means that you lack knowledge of it
All of us are ignorant of most things...
But putting that aside for a moment, of course I don't think that everyone capable of making smart decisions agrees with me on everything, that would be silly.
But in cases where absolutely no one has been able to put forward a remotely convincing argument to the contrary, then it would be equally silly to paint a false equivalence between two opposing positions. In such cases a firm belief in your own conclusion is absolutely justified; at least until such time as someone has put forward enough opposing data to shift the balance of evidence away from your currently held view.
At which point, on whatever topic our hypothetical happens to be, we should change our mind.
In most controversial subjects of recent times, assuming we're thinking of the same ones; there has been overwhelming expert opinion on one side.
The fact that a small handful of smart people might have come to incorrect conclusions isn't particularly surprising. Smart people become convinced of incorrect things all the time. The difference is however, when presented with overwhelming evidence that they're wrong, smart people change their mind.
Anyway, i'm sure this is a tedious read for most people, so maybe we should move on?

The Tesla truck is coming (one day). It could all be a genius plan to align himself with the inbred hillbillies, so they buy his trucks.
Anyway cool, literally of no relevance to this thread. You also did this in Speakers Corner, replying in paragraphs to simple points.
You're a strange kind of human.
Call me old fashioned, but usually when people quote someone on an internet forum, they're not surprised when that person responds to them.

He's lost his marbles. It's the only explanation. What you've written (whether agreeable or not) is fair and open to discussion.
Maybe that is the issue. He's not looking for discussion, and so blames you, for why he, can't reply.
