I’m not describing this post as a response to the other post.
I initially wrote at the top of this post that,
I wanted to offer a different perspective on this post …
and I believe that this warranted a separate post. In no way was this meant to be a rebuttal of all the arguments made there. I apologise for the confusion.
At the top of the post, I’ve now clarified that I’m offering a different perspective (to add to the public discourse) and that this made more sense to me as a post than a comment and NOT a rebuttal.
I respect you for writing this comment.
This would be something I’d be uncomfortable writing under my name.
