Thank you for providing a legitimate, well thought out response instead of just reacting like so many others here. I'll read through it all here in a bit.
Plenty of people initially responded with sources and thought out texts. You got negativity when you decided to ignore those, act as if you had not received them and then solely engage with low effort dunks like mine own. You are not owed respect, you earn it by being respectful
It's always the way they do things. They ignore well thought out responses and pretend their opponents have no argument. Then they'll try to save face by acting "civil" with a commenter like above.
I love it when they show up, do the exact same thing as the previous 10000 libs before them, and then act shocked when we respond to their scripted nonsense the exact same way as before.
It's so funny. Then they go back to their dens and complain that users here are too aggressive to have a polite discussion.
You really nailed the button about how last step is trying to save face by being polite to someone. Happens every time, and some users here even fall for it lol.
I hate their attitudes about how discussions should go (when they are the one with a heterodox view of course).
Just the fucking ego in insisting ones uneducated view on something should be treated as valid as the mountains of research others have done. Never mind that their "opinion" is often just completely false. It'd be like barging in to a forum for environmentalists and then insisting you should have a discussion about climate change. And of course they never just say that's what they want, instead they post some dumb meme and act glib.
I should make a lib debatebro flowchart
sorry but your post was the embodiment of the
/
archetype.
If you wrote a polite question like "What happened in June 1989 in Tienanmen Square, is the tank man photo real?" or "What is the origin of this picture?" then you'd get a polite response.
No one is obligated to be nice to you if you're not respectful back.
