Academic Agent is trying to tone police me again. I find the notion unacceptable; funny even. Regular viewers at @lotuseaters_com, not Neema's core audience, know how much I let others speak and how little I interrupt my colleagues during segments. I know it because I am watching the live chat and I regularly chat with many of our subscribers individually. I think I'll be fine. So, what happens here is the following: Neema has just taken excerpts from a few discussions that got heated, particularly the roundtable debate about Greenland and Firas' Friday segment, and projects a general pattern of interruption and segment-derailment on me. No such pattern exists. This is a figment of his imagination which he knows to be false but he thinks is useful to employ against me right now; the attempt will be inconsequential. He didn't express any dissatisfaction with my conduct during the Greenland discussion though. He took an issue with my conduct on last Friday's discussion. I wonder why. In fact, I don't. No one doubts why. It is because he is obsessed with that one issue and he wants others to become obsessed with it and believe: a) exactly what he says about it, and b) what he says about what is to be done about it. The issue comes down to the simple fact that Neema and I disagree about most things. As far as I'm concerned, this is not my problem.
