Dialogue with Hair on Fire members

[stevenleser]

33. No, sorry, I don't think you do care about the spying issue, nor do most Hair on Fire folks...

I think if that was the main concern, there would be two things the hair on fire crowd would definitely be doing differently:

1. They would be spending a lot of time trying to find out the facts and separating the facts from suppositions so that they and everyone else who agrees with them would be armed with the best facts possible.

2. They would not attack other people who are asking for facts and information. While I dramatized this in my dialogue somewhat, it is true that merely questioning a Hair on Fire person to ask them to provide factual backup for their assertions often results in attack.

I think the above is how I would behave if I wanted to manufacture as much outrage as possible on a subject against a person or group without regard to or in spite of the facts.
