Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?
Why can’t people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?
If I make a spelling, grammar, or word choice error, or am unable to find a noun and have to describe the thing, then my entire point is invalidated. If I fail to accurately translate my shapeless, interwoven web of thought-color-shape-idea into paragraphs the other party can understand, they now have reason to regard everyone who holds my position as too stupid to be allowed to speak.
Insisting on a debate can be sometimes (but not always) a tactic used by people who want to wear out the other side.
The same reason I block, mute, and ignore advertisements: I get to decide how to spend my attention.
That’s a short sided simplified view of what I said. I was talking about either comments on a public platform or in a long form format.
What? How is it short and simplified??Can you explain what you mean? I answered your question, using more words than your original post did.
