I do feel a little upset, but it's not the power of taboo. It's the prospect of dealing with a crazy person.

Most (but not all) of the individual examples of your Bill are things that could be "either true, a matter of serious debate, or otherwise a matter of high likelihood and reasonableness." But pack them all into one paragraph, with the loaded language and I become very doubtful that Bill is interested in a reasonable discussion. I'm heading for the door. Maybe it's a bad example?

I do have conversations about some of these issues, but only with close friends who have a shared trust and understanding. I don't think I have enough credibility here on LW nor do I know the landscape well enough to have an informative conversation about these issues.
