I'm starting to notice how dangerous this list is. The awareness may be temporary. On Mon, Jul 5, 2021, 10:01 PM David Barrett <dbarrett@expensify.com> wrote:

If so, can you help me understand why you support Sweden prosecuting an ordinary person, but you do not support them prosecuting Assange?
I formed an opinion on that, now. It's not the one you say I have.
Ok just to confirm, does that mean you *do* support Sweden prosecuting Assange for sexual assault, irrespective of whatever happens with the US? (I'm sorry, the double negative was confusing me.)
Double negative? I abstain regarding the decision. Others are better equipped to make it than me. What's important is the circumstances in which the situation developed, and I'd personally like to focus on those.

I think autocorrect altered our conversation. _Mediation_, not _meditation_. Although if you were to take meditation in the "study and deliberate hard" way ("let me meditate on this exam question") it could likely help. available, just not in all the legal systems.

Maybe I should take better note when things get all debatey. I'm honestly not trying to disagree with you; this seems a pretty inefficient way to come to shared terms.
Thanks!
