It is truly important for us not to be pushed away by Lou's posts which use various rhethorical methods-- parents are told they may be 'drugging" their children for example, when we all know this is a thing any good parents would be horrified to think they might be doing. etc
As far as a Shield goes-- maybe we can try to use a shield of knowing that he is in a sense manipulating our fears and making us imagine the worst in the hopes that this will somehow shock or terrify us into what he considers a safe result--
I don't like having my dreads and terrors evoked by someone who with an agenda-- that may not be rational- at least as I would reason on a subject-- and this helps me to remain (somewhat) calm. At least after a bit--
It's only if good people fail to act that evil triumphs-- they say. Let's remember this-- perhaps without the rhetoric of evil-- I would say, only if good people fail to act will fears and irrational imaginings triumph. If new posters are to come here, they need to count on a community of more nuanced and thorough thinkers than we can have if you, Dinah, and others like you, leave.
There are only a few voices and those that count will, I hope, persevere.
Emsam.
