Before this was a feed, it was a conversation. Between 2011 and 2022 readers wrote back, often to tell me I was wrong. Almost all of those threads are still here. These are the ones where the argument actually got going, with the number of replies and the number of different people who wrote them.

What the old arguments were about
Three subjects brought people back. The pandemic, when I argued with the consensus and readers disagreed loudly. Byju’s, where the disagreements were personal and my posts got me thrown off LinkedIn for a while. And the ordinary business of running a company in India, where readers knew more than I did. The threads are worth reading for the replies, not for me.
