FWIW... I worked with Brendan @ Mozilla for over a year. Dude expressed zero problems with my queer lifestyle that I didn't hide. I think the problem people had with Brendan was not his opposition for same-sex marriage, but his support for an organization that opposed same-sex marriage. It's a subtle distinction, but one worth making. People are complex.
Sorry, what is the distinction? Being nice to people you know in person but trying to take rights away from the much larger group of people you don't know in person seems, well, worse?
the distinction is between practicing interpersonal bigotry and supporting institutional bigotry. don't be fooled by a warm handshake and a nice smile.
Dunning-Kruger actually applies to everyone, especially to people who openly and over-generalizingly criticize an entire nation's supposed lack of skill.
You speak as if you are an expert on everything in the universe at all times. Way too much black-and-white thinking. And many people often strongly disagree with your statements... a great deal of your comments are quite often downvoted and/or flagged.
There is a reason you have been banned from several different platforms now. Disagreeing/arguing with their actions is not how you improve yourself, and you can't explain your way out of it, you have to want to change how you act, and work hard at it. You have to be ok with being wrong. Your weaponization of logic has destroyed your empathy. You are craving validation through technical dominance, but this just further isolates you/alienates others.
I think real intelligence by definition requires empathy and humility, which is typically the opposite of such dogmatism in my opinion. "As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding."
The Dunning-Kruger effect also applies to smart people. You don't stop when you are estimating your ability correctly. As you learn more, you gain more awareness of your ignorance and continue being conservative with your self estimates.
Also you seem to like to claim that almost everything is illegal and then not back up your claims with any useful sources, instead telling people to look it up themselves or give vague non-answers like "it's in the German law code". That and most of your comments are just plain negative in general, and I think this ultimately stems from some kind of childhood trauma that you have not dealt with.
Many of your comments are you condescendingly implying other people are stupider than you, and you have a disproportionate number of comments targeting me specifically.

> I am bewildered that Preston Byrne has even bothered
Preston is not a legitimate lawyer and has never actually represented anyone. He only larps as an expert and spends an inordinate amount of time constantly trying to tell other lawyers how wrong they are, using his black-and-white god complex attitude.
By my subjective opinion, "real lawyers" represent clients, and most of the time win. This guy just complains and acts like he knows everything, and is often wrong.
When I said legitimate that's what I was referring to, not simply "passed the bar".
