In some ways though, that was still a matter of play or experimentation,with a curiosity as to just how far people would denigrate stated ideals - at least as it played out.The shitty part (for me) was the <rodent hole> it generated towards me.You generated most of that all by yourself.

Yes...but that couldn't have happened amongst a group of people who allowed their feelings about someone to differ from their feelings about their views.It was something of a microcosm of the way political ideology has become so fucking toxic.
You do know that it is exceedingly rare among humans to be able to view ideology and personal feelings completely separately.

I guess I thought it a more NT thing.You're both full of shit. How else could you possibly excel at chess? Which I would guess you both do.What is at play is simple acumen, perception, acute awareness of "The Next Possible Move," anticipation and patience. Fucking cats do this.
I understand.
