I noticed a good amount of people talking about Al Jazeera in the BBC paywall thread and that make me ask, why!?

Ok. Seemed odd that you'd leave a comment with no relation to mine in response.

if you want to argue with me then please reply to the other comment. Or don't, I have better things I could be doing and I doubt either of us have much to gain from it.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre
