Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham) responds to my tax protester followup, in which I take him to task for assigning credibility to We the People. I’d also received a very polite note from Illuminatus/Arkham (how should I address you, anyway?) about this. I/A says that I misrepresented him; he says he agrees with me that WtP have no legal credibility.
In retrospect, I think he’s right. I was too harsh on him here. I guess I didn’t think he’d disavowed them strongly enough. That’s hairsplitting and it’s not really fair. I still maintain that Dale Amon did more than merely point out what WtP are saying, and I stand by my response to Joshua Trevino, but I retract my criticism of Illuminatus/Arkham. I appreciate the feedback, and I hope this sets the record straight.
(Yes, I’m up really late. Too much caffeine between sessions at the bridge tournament, I’m afraid.)
