I said no one ever told me to shut up about the TPP.

Apparently you are linking to DU threads bec. people on DU told you to shut up about the TPP.
So-- you're saying in the DU universe a lot of people told people to "shut up about the TPP"?
That is not very conducive to a productive conversation.

DU is not the whole world, you know.
I would suggest you hang out with people - here and elsewhere - who would discuss things, not tell people to shut up.

So altho I'm hungry this morning, no...I'm not going to "eat my words".
I will go eat breakfast.
