Are you attempting to preach to the choir or persuade the skeptical?

Clearly you have a giant fan club among the CC choir. Part of the reason your comments are so prominent here and hard to avoid is that I sort comments by "top" and you get many likes.

But the spamming is a turn-off to me. If your essays are so good and so powerful then people like me will be attracted by the profundity of your comments to click on your name and read your blog. I must have seen you advertise your essay about Covid shots for children at least 10 times and I find the advertising distasteful. It does not attract me to read it. Also, the fact that Jeff chose you to be his first substitute blogger brings him down a bunch of notches in my estimation.

If that hurts your feelings, I'm sorry, but since you replied to me personally, I am taking the opportunity to be brutally honest. There is just something about the constant advertising (spamming) that I find distasteful and I am not inclined to provide positive reinforcement for that behavior.

You have now increased the size of your fan club with Jeff's help. Congratulations!

I am attempting to reach out to you human being to human being, Gigi.

What you regard as “spamming,” I view as sharing valuable information that can be used by others as desired to help fight totalitarianism and save lives—goals you presumably share.

The specific article you referenced, for example, resonated with so many because they felt it packaged compelling, irrefutable resources in such a way that it *may* be able to penetrate the programming of indoctrinated parents and thus save the lives of children and perhaps even the parents.

I don’t mind brutal honesty—I practice it myself, particularly with Covidians. What I mind is when someone projects fallacious assumptions about a person’s motives and character based on their interpretation of a behavior they dislike, particularly when we are both fighting for the same ends.

In any case, I appreciate your reply and wish you well, one tyranny-resister to another.

Whatever MAA.

Jeff's a lawyer in FL with lots of cachet- I anticipated Christina Pushaw, Kyle Lamb, or Dr Ladapo

OR one of the numerous public figures CC has "multiplied": Christopher Rufo would have been AWESOME and also deserved to clarify to those skeptics of his "multiplication" why he is a good pick.

But he picked YOU- you lucky duck!

Yes, and it was an honor I did not take lightly and am profoundly grateful for.

I agree—Dr. Lapado would be a great choice should the opportunity arise in future.

Peace out.
