double opinion, just another tactic

Reader comment on item: Bibliography – My Writings on Being Mangled by Leftists and Islamists

Submitted by myth (Netherlands), Dec 8, 2009 at 11:05

Dear Dr Pipes, you are often the victim of a tactic I call "double-opinion". It appears that people have an opinion about your opinion which is a very strange thing. It is prejudice transformed into a tactic. In case there is no opinion expressed on your part these people simply assume it based on their own opinion about you. the only way one can possibly do this on the grounds of decency is to prove your opinion by your choice of language, maybe to prove some deliberate omission or directed selection of relevant sources. In order to follow that path these critics would have to analyze a lot of authentic sources themselves which is maybe too much work for them to do. I find it almost absurd you have to do it for them.
