You have not really been civil at all, and have repeatedly engaged in bad faith interpretations of what I and the article say, while accusing me of bias. If you can't engage in any self-reflection over that I won't engage with you.

I've been watching this and letting it play out, wondering when you would pick up on the 4chan style of engaging in discussions. It will be in bad faith and constantly having you on the back-foot. People with left leaning tendencies have a inherent need to communicate and talk, proofing statements they made. Right wingers have no such inclination , they can lie, distort, move goalposts, etc, all day long, no problem but you on the other hand will try your best to be good. Nobody can be 100% good, there will be a point that person will have a 'gotcha!' moment and you will be distraught for not getting it 'right'.

Good on you for seeing this!

I have been, just because I'm challenging how you've viewed this song doesn't mean I've been hostile.

while accusing me of bias.

I asked if you had a bias. The fact you think this is hostile and refuse to answer is curious....
