Cliff's MO is to deflate, devalue and flatten any difficult conversation. Look at all his posts in this thread:
https://forum.calgarypuck.com/search...rchid=11040659
It's a distinct pattern of attempting to remove any argument you can make from the conversation, such that there is never a point worth arguing, and the conclusion is there is nothing to be done. He never offers anything in the way of improvement. He does this all the time. He downplays the deaths, Catholic involvement, need for them to apologize...I know he does it in a low key way, but when you see the pattern over the years, it's hard not to point at it. Oh look, there goes Cliff again. Guess we better just not discuss this topic.
Then you get Peter claiming Cliff is some sort of wizard, so Cliff keeps at it.
