Du anklager andre for å opptre polariserende, og avslutter egne innlegg med kamprop som "ya basta". Å ikke se ironien i dette er å være blindet av egen besettelse. Revolusjonen som du predikerer har polarisering som forutsetning, polarisering er ditt virke. Du er i ingen posisjon til å anklage andre for polariserende virksomhet.
Kjære deg, du må gjerne lese innleggene mine som fanden leser bibelen...

Ya Basta!
Men om du tar til etteretning konteksten "slagordet" forekom i og dets betydning "¡Ya basta! is a phrase in Spanish roughly approximate to "Enough already!"", håper jeg du innser at jeg her siktet til den endeløse men nødvendige editeringen av innlegget jeg så slurvete skrev i halvsøvne, som til å begynne med knapt gav mening selv for meg.
Narsissist er jeg likefullt. Men poenget ditt og bevisføringen føler jeg bommer på mål. Du må gjerne ta for deg noen av poengene jeg har tatt opp, da selv narsissistiske meg finner det mer interessant enn min person eller hva du mener og hva slags forestillinger du måtte ha om nevnte entitet.
BBs innlegg er forøvrig et godt eksempel på hvorfor jeg finner det viktig å utøve USA- og generell vestenkritikk. Denne viljen til konformitet ovenfor ens egene styresmakter, og den manglende forståelsen for historie og mangelene ved hvordan den blir presentert gjør befolkninger maktesløse ovenfor interesser som ikke nødvendigvis representerer fullt så filantropiske interesser som BB ønsker å tro - slik jeg ser det. Jeg prøver å oppfordre til kritisk og demokratisk engasjement, å tenke litt utenfor de konforme baner. Det er alltid viktig med en opposisjon, om ikke trenger en ikke engang å begrunne sine handlinger. Ønsket jeg oppdager at noen har til å tie det finner jeg skremmende.
(Ps, å referere til dette brevet når en diskuterer The Great Global Warming Swindle finner jeg helt på sin plass - omfanget av listen over vitenskapsmenn som uten reservasjoner har signert det finner jeg å være alt annet enn irrelevant. Det er dessuten dokumentert at grafene filmen benytter seg av er manipulert

The Great Global Warming Swindle: open letter to Martin Durkin
Martin Durkin
Managing Director
Wag TV
24 April 2007
Dear Mr Durkin,
We are writing to object to plans by Wag TV to distribute DVD versions of the programme The Great Global Warming Swindle, which was produced by your company.
The programme misrepresented both the scientific evidence and the interpretations of researchers that have been documented in the scientific literature when it was broadcast last month. Both Channel Four and Ofcom have received a number of complaints since the programme was first broadcast on 8 March 2007. Many of the objections to the content and style of the programme have received coverage in the UK national media.
A complaint from one of us (Bob Ward) is currently under consideration by both the broadcaster and Ofcom. It outlines seven major misrepresentations of both facts and views that occur in the programme, and claims a breach of Section 5.7 of the Broadcasting Code. A document describing the details of these seven misrepresentations, which has been submitted in support of the complaint, accompanies this letter.
We do not dispute your right to make a programme that includes different opinions about climate change. We are not seeking the censorship of differing viewpoints or the curtailment of free speech. We recognise and support the right of the programme-makers to report different viewpoints on climate change. However, we believe that it is in the public interest for adequate quality control to be exercised over information that is disseminated to the public to ensure that it does not include major misrepresentations of the scientific evidence and interpretations of it by researchers. Such quality control does not appear to have been applied to your programme.
We believe that the misrepresentations of facts and views, both of which occur in your programme, are so serious that repeat broadcasts of the programme, without amendment, are not in the public interest. In view of the seriousness of climate change as an issue, it is crucial that public debate about it is balanced and well-informed.
We understand that Wag TV has plans to distribute a DVD version of the programme. Although we recognise that DVD versions of programmes are not covered by the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, we feel that it would be very much against the public interest to distribute the DVD without removing the major misrepresentations that appeared in the broadcast versions of the programme in early March. In fact, so serious and fundamental are the misrepresentations that the distribution of the DVD of the programme without their removal amounts to nothing more than an exercise in misleading the public.

Du vil virkelig ikke gjøre dette til en kampsak, filmen er etter hva jeg kan forstå i beste fall uprofesjonell, muligens et makverk.)
