@JFGariepy 1/ JF, you've always had my support and I like you personally. As to how you have characterized me personally, that's regrettable. Generally when someone indicates someone's thinking is incorrect, they are able to point to examples (and ideally allow refutation). That

2/ is not the case here. As to the bigger issue of "in fighting" or antagonism versus @Henrik_Palmgren and Red Ice you are simply ignorant of the situation. I actually reached out to Red Ice to deescalate the situation. All of this is easily discovered through the now infamous

3/ twitter exchange. Rather I have been working actively to deescalate these inane conflicts behind the scenes, so far too little avail. Though perhaps there will be progress soon. My characterization of them as BEHAVING J-ish referred to their persistence on mischaracterizing

4/ actual positions combined with an unwillingness to resolve these misconceptions civilly on a broadcast(or a DM). This, as you know, is precisely how the mainstream media behaves. I am happy to go on your stream at any point to clear up these misconceptions. Likewise if you

5/ have any specific questions as to my ideas, I am happy to clarify them. Your characterization of them, of course, is insulting. It's possible some of the ideas I deal with are not well understood by you because you are less familiar with mythology, arts, my work etc. You

6/ seemed to admit as much when we did our first stream together. There is no shame in that. I admit to not being an expert in your field nor in your particular line of thinking. But again, I am available to clear up any misconceptions you may have to my thinking which you

7/ have effectively slandered with no reference to specific ideas. I am difficult to offend though so bear no hard feelings. I any case the thread of the exchange in question is available for your analysis. I can only assume you had not viewed it before your broadcast. In fact on

8/ May 10th I DMed you asking you to host a civil discussion between feuding factions which included @AshaLogos , WOTW, Keith Woods, RS and others. The goal, explicitly, was not for a blood sport but rather to clarify actual positions on both sides. My effort was to take the

9/ feud off Twitter where it had become toxic. Your response to me at the time was: "Not super interested in 'muh infighting' and 'muh movement' arguments." I'll accept that maybe you thought the stream would be useless. But to characterize me as leading the "in fighting"...

10/ this is false. I am happy to make amends with @Henrik_Palmgren at any time but he is dead set against this as is clear from that twitter thread. So unfortunately you are dealing in falsehoods. I assume they are based on a simple misunderstanding of the situation. This was the

11/ tweet you referenced in particular. My criticism of @Henrik_Palmgren was related to his behavior in this instance and his insistence on mischaracterizing views on our side while not allowing a civil stream on the matter. https://twitter.com/MarkBrahmin/status/1264376334199001090

12/ also in the exchange: https://twitter.com/MarkBrahmin/status/1264355320836640768

13/ Below is the beginning of the exchange. @Henrik_Palmgren Shared a DM I sent him hoping to deescalate the situation. I've forgiven him for this. I don't give a shit. I think him and his wife gone through hell. I was angered by his 45 minute attack on RS and NPI tho.

14/ You should have mentioned that to provide context for your viewers. Beginning of exchange: https://twitter.com/MarkBrahmin/status/1264355320836640768

15/ I don't require a retraction from you or an apology. I don't even need to go on your show to defend myself from your attacks based on this situation or more generally. However if you do wish to discuss me, have me on your show. That's the decent thing to do. But you know that
