re: #16 Obdicut

I’m sorry, but given that I know my own father quite well, I think I can probably understand the approach best suited to convince him better than you can. I find it condescending, truly, that you’d tell me how to best approach talking to my father.

You’ll also note that I didn’t call him a denier for merely repeating propaganda, but said that he’d been hoodwinked— in the same way Charles said that he had been. I don’t think it’s wrong to say that someone has been hoodwinked when they get misinformed by deliberate propaganda. It’s embarrassing, but it happens to the best of us.

I wasn’t really talking about your personal approach to your father. I’m sure you have that down pretty pat.

I was referring to the tone which turned me off a bit. I’ll refrain from the condescending advice now since you definately don’t want to hear what I’ve got to say about “how” the message is delivered.
