So here's Tropical Soulvangelical's (TSV, aka "the Heir") followup on his forecast for how long the war's going to last. It's already Friday, and he vaguely remembers the war starting just a little under two weeks ago. So, no, he's pretty sure now it's -not- going to be a mere two weeks, so he stands corrected. He's not entirely sure about three weeks if in a week's time there's still no end in sight. Otherwise this would be the extent to which he feels it's appropriate for him to talk about the war, because, again, he believes a wise sensitivity is called for. That said, he also monitors the demonstrations on audio. Also to be fair, he's keeping an ear out for both the pro-Israeli groups and the pro-Palestine groups, to hear what they're saying on newsradio, talking to the "man in the street" (now a bit of a chauvinist phrase). But he exercises his right to be biased in observing whatever Ed Snowdenisms the latter group may come up with, and that includes logical fallacies as per logicallyfallacious.com (or maybe it's a .org) as well as attempts to prolong discussions till 3 o'clock in the morning. This is what TSV believes happened with a rep of that latter group's phone call with Eric Adams. The group made claims on audio about the point at which Eric Adams hung up right in their face, or that he necessarily did so, but TSV doesn't believe them. TSV believes they tried to do pull all that Ed Snowden jazz on Eric Adams, and TSV asks who -wouldn't- at least want to hang up on someone who talks to them with that level of disrespect? Also note that this isn't even about the substance of details of the war, and which moves were right and wrong, and why. That's why TSV sees the group as using there just being a war, period, as an excuse for piling on abuse and invective on a member of their enemies list. TSV himself may very well be down the list, so he's getting ready. Now, if Eric Adams -did- hang up on them, TSV doesn't think that's a smart thing for a sitting mayor to do. But he thinks it's perfectly understandable as to why someone would at least feel like hanging up on someone like that.
