There's a Mistake I Keep Making Over and Over Again:

that the "official story shills" who come here (day after day after day) can be reasoned with in any way, shape or form.

While much of me wants to reject the idea that the OSS's who come here are in fact professional operatives, it's quite hard to come to any other conclusion after seeing them operate for a while.

But for some reason-- I'm not sure why, perhaps because it's hard to understand these people myself-- I keep thinking I can reason with them.

Part of it relates to having an open comments section. It invites these "entities". But the blog doesn't feel quite right without open comments, either. So it's a problem.
