@Murray_N @freemo I think #DaveSmith's weakness is his position, not the pressure he was under. He did really well in that #JRE debate with #DouglasMurray, but it doesn't mean I agree with his philosophy.
The point of my reply was, you can be good faith and wrong, and you can be bad faith and correct.

You can be... but being right doesnt mean your words have value either.
And Dave's position wasnt wrong, he just did a shit job at arguing because he left Douglas's bad faith argument lead the direction of the debate, he was reactive rather than proactive in the debate, and when you do that against a bad faith actor you will have a weak position whether you are right or not.
