Yes, you're right -- it's likely he's always been a childish ass. My impression of him before this was neutral to positive, probably because he hasn't been drawing as much attention to himself. Your defense I guess is that he's always been a narcissistic sociopathic inept moron, and since you have supported him then you are unable to back out now?

Back to the same arguments people make about Trump, that a liberal media is somehow making it impossible to accurately gauge this childish narcissistic psychopath's behavior. I can see his tweets. I can read the things he says directly. I can see his behavior. I won't be easily swayed by someone trying to put a layer of spin on top in either direction.

> And, why is the NYT writing puff pieces about SBF?

I don't care? It's irrelevant to this? It's a bizarre thing to bring up?

It's increasingly apparent that the attacks of "media made you think" are outward projections from people who incapable of processing basic information on their own; they seem to assume everyone else is equally incapable.



The fact that you admit to being a bad judge of character in the past should give you pause to reflect on the possibility that you are still a bad judge of character today.

Why did you have a "neutral to positive" impression of a "childish ass and a narcissistic sociopathic inept moron"? Is it possible that you are just repeating whatever you hear from the media? And now they have decided that he should be hated?

Also, interesting that you mention Donald Trump because my opinion of Donald Trump has not changed over the past 15 years. I always thought he was a selfish conman. So is my judgment better than NBC who paid him millions and is it also better than the Clintons who went to his wedding?


I did not admit to being a bad judge of character, I simply paid him little attention.

This is a bizarre reframing of the conversation. Mixing or changing of context, trimming statements for the bits you want. Not at all meaningful.
