I think I am going to have to make a new years resolution and swear off Caitoz.

I was being funny about something she wrote and she is offended again. Yes, I went a bit too far again but I just can’t help it; I’m from Waskasoo.

Caitlin has been an inspiration for my own writing. Some of the stuff I put out criticizing her directly or indirectly has been my most read. But ultimately that is not a good thing.

Caitlin can be a really good writer. But she is dead wrong on too many things, especially recently. I really cannot abide things like; encouraging people to “live with” a deadly pandemic, pushing libertarian type ‘negative rights’ nonsense, or martyr cults around self harmers.

She talks about the end of illusions but retails some pretty big delusions.

What I was reacting to her about was an apparent challenge from her to anyone to disprove her about digital surveillance. I dislike debates but that is a challenge I could take up. I am very big on positive as opposed to negative rights.

Positive rights give people something, negative rights are worthless. If Cait wants to debate this with me on some neutral ground, she can consider the glove dropped. Other than that, I will not be following her in 2022.
