Seriously though. I don't walk in your shoes and i don't know what you got going on. IRL, I would be happy to buy you a beverage of your choice.

No joking, question: if I share something with you will you watch it and give me your opinion on it?

is it going to be brokeback mountain streaming?

Primal’s attempts to post a sale keep getting buried so fast.

If the style of one’s (e.g. @readalot ’s) argument is embarrassing or unprofessional in the context of a debate/discussion, there’s the risk of pushing the audience to start feeling defensive about the entity one wants to convince to change behaviors, even if the audience agrees on the merits of one’s core argument and would be one’s natural allies.

That is not the optimal outcome one may be looking for. That’s the risk that is being pointed out, I’m just stating it formally. Simpler: one may lose allies who were already on the same side, based on the merits of one’s case, if they can’t stand the approach.

Debate is by its nature performative. Strategy can be as important as the merits of the case. Sometimes more so. The most effective leaders acknowledge this and work both angles.

Other factors, such as debate opponents’ style (e.g. Tracy, lol) as well as knowing one’s audience come into play, obviously. It’s not always about being the most formal/virtuous in approach.

This also applies to the vendor reps as well, but they do start with the upper hand by definition. Well…if their prices and delivery completion aren’t a shit show, and they aren’t disingenuous all the time.

I am impressed at the drive of several folks here, @readalot included, who spend their own free time pushing the vendors and participants towards safer solutions.

From time to time I cringe at some of what some harm reduction proponents write (and what defensive vendors write, obviously)…others might not, but I do, maybe that’s my personal problem. On balance, however, it’s good work. Thank you all for your commitment to harm reduction here and elsewhere.

Sans shirt and drop those shorts around ankles. Why do have to hide behind shirts or weight racks/benchs. Tattoos?

Don't need a crumpled piece of paper. Thong or strategic emoji is fine. Let's see the recomp!!

Congrats BTW.

And reply to my question. I want to share something with you if you will watch it.

I assure you I have the best of intentions. Don't want to ruin it though and the recipient has to be willing to give it a fair shot.

The one thing for sure not in question is your intentions. And if you want to show *me* the Matrix, I'm an open-minded recipient. I can't stand all this mystery.

Give a little time for him to respond. If he doesnt want to recieve it I will still share with the group. I was really hoping he would be open to it though.

Thank you sincerely for your interest.

I don’t play your dumb ass games. Send whatever you want, why would you need my permission. See the annoying aspect that a lot of us say.

Thanks for sharing the new photo. Nice job Brother! Lookin' good. I understand very well what you did takes dedication and discipline. I realize there is skepticism but I mean you no harm and support your body recomp goals.

I am not playing games. Just wanted to understand if you are open to what I wanted to share with you.

Wait a minute. Now I'm starting to get Tom Cruise vibes. Are you about to tell us about Dianetics?
