That's just the same tired excuse. There is ample interest in "genuine debate," on this forum. In my opinion, no one representing SA has ever been interested in "genuine debate," on this forum. Occasionally, we have Platt show up, offering to provide only private, (and, according to FD, often confidential), responses to the issues raised here. Or, we get someone like Sparks, who doesn't know beans about what has gone on at SA, for the last seven years. Sometimes we get lies and personal attacks, but we never get any logical answers from anyone actually representing SA.
Platt: "One of the disappointments associated with Cold Filter is that it could actually be a useful forum in which to exchange ideas on projects and ideas. The current climate precludes this, so, I go about my business without discussing it."
He's right, it COULD be a useful place to exchange ideas, if anyone was willing to actually discuss the issues raised by their critics, rather than just go all out, trying to discredit them.
Platt: "I could name at least half-a-dozen productive people who no longer post here for similar reasons. It's a notoriously poisonous environment.
Yes, again, the well has indeed been poisoned, but in my opinion, it has been poisoned against those who want to spread mostly inaccurate information and propaganda.
