I was writing up for the recent PFH at the time, when I interacted with it... but the impression I got was that Swen lives in a world where all but the friends that he keeps closest under his immediate thumb, leave him, and he is of the opinion that that's just how friendship works. A bit mean-spirited, perhaps, but he really came off as the worst kind of social bully, when I was reviewing his media persona, so that's where I landed, with that comment.
((By the way - I used equivocate deliberately, in the sense that I felt the language being used was creating a false link between the two things that did not actually exist, in a way that was deliberately misleading - I've since retracted that, since I understand it wasn't deliberate and likely a misread on my part. I'll admit it's a looser and more colloquial use of the definition than the formal one for an actual equivocation fallacy... my bad ^.^))
What? Did you just called Swen the "worst kind of social bully"? This isn't a stretch at this point, you are building a bridge over an ocean.
