Brock, what does this question have to do with this discussion? John 
"assumed" opinions of mine, to later *demand* an answer those assumptions 
of his. Why is this relevant to this discussion and why would we let John 
divert the discussion this way? Is that about a fair contest of ideas? 
What gives John the right to *demand* answers from anyone here? Free 
speech?

If you, too, think that I in any way whatsoever would be afraid to answer 
any question from John or anyone else here, you are wrong. I agree what 
was said somewhere above, the Gish Galloping is rampant in this thread.

Did you see any answers from John so far, about what is behind one of the 
bills in Georgia that would make it illegal to feed people in line to 
vote, for example? An answer to this would be very much in line with the 
topic of my first posting, which is very different from John's question. 
It goes both ways, Brock.

FYI, I have very clear opinions on the tech companies' actions.
