What an extraordinary pain to read. This really demonstrates why Twitter is awful for debates. This can be made readable, but you'd have to rewrite the entire thing, more or less, to pull out the individual points, consolidate broken up thoughts, and create consistent formatting per author so you can follow it instead of being a sea of text with occasional implicit author switching.

(It also demonstrates why you shouldn't have light-gray text on gray background, pale green links, and dashed underline links.)

I apologize and wish I could have presented it better. I first compiled this in 2019 and had been planning to summarize it more. Alas, I recently realized that I wouldn't have the energy for that and that I should simply publish as is.

I'm surprised that people care at all, but perhaps I underestimate how many are as interested in the content as I am.

Regarding the formatting, I will try to update the background to something more readable using wordpress, although I obviously lack your skills in this area. In the meantime, you're free to copy it onto your website or elsewhere.

I've learned several new things from this conversation. Thank you for saving it.
