Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

On the contrary, I am objecting to being bracketed with such people, as you are attempting to do in an apparent attempt to disqualify me from debate.

I am not bracketing you with such people. I am just claiming that Jerome and Eric Zencey among others come too close for comfort to arguing that. You disagree. I have made that point in their diaries, repeatedly. This whole subthread started because of your
Thomas:
I really wish people would stop shilling austerian visions in the name of ecology
Who is doing this exactly?
I also did not do you the disservice of reacting to your bracketing me with Thomas by saying
(I will not do you the disservice of bracketing you with Thomas the cornucopian sf fan)
(Yeah, this is a case of you using excusation non petita as a way to bracket me with cornucopianism while claiming not to be doing it).

By the way, you're free to argue in a biblical literalist frame, too, but I would object to that frame as well, and I would not care in the least if you claimed I was oppressing you for objecting to that frame. After all I am just objecting, not suppressing your ability to argue.

How can you then claim I am bracketing you with what I call "economic austerians" since you don't even want to call yourself that?
