Yes, you've made your position clear. I'm simply asking that you acknowledge that not everyone agrees with you, instead of making sweeping statements that no matter your opinion, Timnit was "obnoxious". You have your view of the events, I'm not trying to convince you to change it. I'm simply saying that other people disagree. No need to continue to try and justify yourself.

Of course - there will almost always be some amount of people that disagree with any position.

That doesn’t make all positions equally valid.

Stating that others disagree seems like a banality?

Obviously this is the case, just look at this thread and Twitter.

I just think they’re wrong.

I think attempting to explain why I think the way I do is kind of the point of the discussion. If I can’t justify it then I’d want to change my mind.

I think the quotes given are persuasive evidence, though. “I’m disengaging for my sanity”?
