The fact that you cite only a single source should stand as simple enough reason to discredit it.

In response, I offer you a single citation [0].

The fact that you created a new anonymous account to do nothing more than name call stands as a simple enough way you discredited...you.

McCarthyism was intolerance, not an intolerance of intolerance. It's ironic to have to explain simple type theory here.

Or maybe not.

And yet, the 'intolerance' that you're so intolerant of goes without citation, without explanation, without discussion. Strikes me as blatant McCarthyism.

Perhaps my account is anonymous because the comment should stand on its own? The discussion surrounding this issue shouldn't require personal reputation. The facts should be sufficient.

I thought the McCarthyists were the ones blacklisting people over their political beliefs?
Perhaps the grandparent rationally fears retaliation?
