If you don't take sides you're always a loser.

I didn't know Mike Rowe.
Seems to be a very intelligent guy and while googling him I read about his trade activism which seems to be a very good idea!
And for the rest : if you don't have anything to add to a discussion, don't.

Or as the Swiss would call it, neutral or un-bloodied.

Saddest part:

TL;DR


*****

Those who would benefit the most from reading Mike's response are the most likely to see a wall of text and keep on scrolling. His points are all good ones. My favorite is the one about logical fallacy, one he makes over and over. The tragedy is how easy they are to make and how hard they are to dispel.

Well here's what you can do about that.

I highlighted and copied the entire article. Then I went to the Cellar Search function and pasted the whole thing in the Keyword(s) box. I selected Show Results as posts and clicked on Search Now.

This is the message I got:
