“I find it annoying & a bit ironic that this “live & let live” libertarian who claims to want small government feels that he has the right to insert himself into the private medical/psychological decisions of families he knows nothing about (& apparently would like to sic the government on them - hmmm…). He spews all kinds of right-wing nonsense & makes sweeping generalizations & statements about science without a shred of evidence (along with a fair amount of vitriol). I like your podcast & have enjoyed your conversations, but that guy is toxic & full of mis- & disinformation. I think you’ve created a space where people of good will with different opinions can share their ideas. This guy does not seem like a person of good will. He likes to pontificate & hurl all kinds of insults - just go back & listen to all of the nasty terms he applied to people who aren’t part of his perceived “team.” He obviously likes to hear himself talk, but I don’t equate a silver tongue & the ability to be rude & talk over others with intelligence. If I never hear him speak again it will be too soon. Yuck! I appreciate your heroic efforts, Joe, to mitigate his nastiness & to try to maintain a reasonable conversation, but he does not seem to me to be open to having a civilized conversation, nor does he seem open to actually hearing conflicting views & taking a moment to reflect. He is a dismissive know-it-all & I don’t see how he fits into this format.”
