He's sounding pretty forlorn in that thread. Said a lot about not having a community he can connect with.

My speculation is he set up Saidit for that, but maybe he's overwhelmed with being the chief cook and bottle washer to the users here, which would explain why we don't see much of him.

If that's the case, kudos to him for creating the kind of site that can facilitate the kinds of conversations he was looking for, even if he can't enjoy them.

People are unable to have a calm discussion about almost anything controversial or conspiratorial because of how they were trained to debate by their Marxist teachers. The main tactic the Marxist uses is the thought terminating cliche, which includes words like antisemite, homophobe, racist, etc. These are words used to end any debate. They are designed to put the opponent in the position of having to defend themselves, or enraging them. Either way, the original thought (discussing a conspiracy, like Jews own all the media) is now terminated by the cliche (antisemitism). It is a form of ridicule, which according to the Rules for Radicals book (Communist operator manual) is their most powerful tool in the toolbox. This is why we need to all stop responding to these thought terminating cliches in they way they want us to. Ignore it, or agree with them. "Yes I am racist" and go on with your other argument. They are just words, they can't hurt you. If you are worried about your reputation I assure you people like this are already slandering you behind your back. So be brave, stick to your guns, use facts and logic and get the message out there.
