> Then that's an irreconcilable difference between us. I happen to think that factual details matter and are very important. Moral narratives, not so much.

1) The point I was making is that there shouldn't be any prosecutions of this kind, so what act they are prosecuted under is irrelevant.

2) You then pretending I am arguing a moral narrative when it isn't. I am arguing on principle. That are not the same thing.

BTW I didn't form this opinion from news articles online. I came to this opinion by reading books around the subject, where half of each page is often citations.

> No, I'm just pointing out some very basic logical gaps in some of the stuff you were saying.

No you didn't. You asserted it was so and then told me I imagined half of it. That is literally gas-lighting.

> Which would suggest that you are, at worst, perhaps a bit underinformed about certain things.

You haven't shown that at all. What you did was ignore the point I was trying to make and get into minutia about what act who was being prosecuted under.

This is disingenuous.

> Or otherwise not taking as critical an eye to the various media sources you ingest as you perhaps could be.

I do. You are making the assertion (without evidence) I don't and I don't appreciate it. When the Epstein court documents were released, I read a fair deal of it (it is well over 1000 pages). When Activision was taken to court for sexual discrimination I read the actual complaint submitted to the Californian court. You know why I read the original court documents? I realised I had been lied to before by some media sources (some of those people believe to be credible as well).

So I actually do go to the original source video, document wherever possible.

So your assertions made without evidence are disingenuous.

> That's all that need be said. I recommend we give this topic a rest, and move onto other threads.

Not at all. You tried to gaslight me. You didn't actually engage with anything I said. That is disingenuous.

You know why I read the original court documents? I realised I had been lied to before by some media sources (some of those people believe to be credible as well).

And that's great. So right now I'll formally backpedal for you:

"It seems you are underinformed or not checking your sources, in this particular context."

Otherwise, let's give it a rest please.

No it isn't good enough. I don't appreciate people trying to gaslight me by telling me that I have imagined everything. I said further up in this thread that I am quite fed up of people like yourself pretending the stuff we are talking about isn't happening when it quite clearly is, so you shouldn't be surprised when you get this push back.
