The “just causes” in inverted commas and the little jibe about propaganda gives it away. I think the point he was making was that although Dave is absolutely correct in what he says, and the antis are twisting things to achieve their pre-planned results, truth-seeking was never the main aim and thus pointing out where they are going wrong will be a bit like water off a duck’s back. I think he’s actually being sarcastic (towards the “experts”) but I just don’t think that sarcasm ever comes across very effectively in writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
