I did. It’s a culture vulture article, you just need to use an incognito tab.
As unpleasant as the content is, just read the article. And remember that lots of folks have trusted Neil Gaiman for a long time (I’m 50) to tell stories they connect with, especially in the 90s when there were fewer writers to do so.
sombre reflection
You apparently still haven’t read the article. Given the reactions to your comment, you may want to go see why the comments are “sombre”, as you put it.
Problem with Poettering is that he was right, but he was a dick about it. Like Rick Sanchez.
No clue what he did (have not yet read the article). Haven’t really consumed any of his media.
I’m surprised everyone else is surprised
This comment didn’t need to be made.
You really, really should use this as an example for yourself in the future to read the room. That means read the article before making a thoughtless comment on something you obviously didn’t fully grasp.
You’re lost in the semantics. Outcomes like fewer deaths resulting from foreign policy decisions, including belligerent invasions, matter more than perceived political “moral” calculus.
