    I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and Vincent used the word partnership without even thinking about it, and I also find it easily believable that the sponsorship is something that slipped through the cracks rather than having any meaning, and I find the response from Proton to be acceptable. I just don’t think it is as big a deal as you’re wanting it to be ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I think it is easily believable that it was a single sponsorship and [a man who makes a living on being a political pundit] used the word partnership without even thinking about it

      So suddenly the narrative went from Vincent lying, to Vincent making a whoopsie. Odd how fast this stance softened.

        I literally know nothing about Vincent other than that he’s a bad dude. I just find the scenario as it has been laid out believable. If it becomes a pattern then I’ll join you with my pitchfork.

          I’m confused about what you believe right now. Do you think Vincent is a liar like you said first? Or do you think he made a little oopsie like you said second?

          Both cannot be true at the same time.

          I think it’s weird that you think Proton should just accept defamation from a political extremist, but I guess we just have different moral standards.

          But if you were being truthful when you say that you would change your mind if you saw a pattern, here you go.
