The Mark Twain quote does not even apply here.

The point of that quote is that some people drag a discussion down to insults and personal attacks instead of engaging with arguments. Ironically, that is exactly what you have been doing throughout this conversation.

I made an argument. You responded by calling me a 14-year-old wannabe intellectual. I made another argument. You responded with more insults about how full of myself I am.

That is not "beating me with experience." It is avoiding the substance of the discussion.

You are free to argue that Musk is a neo-Nazi. You are free to argue that Twitter financially benefits extremists. Those are actual arguments that can be discussed.

What you have not done is explain why reading objectionable material is wrong, why exposure to opposing viewpoints is harmful, or why people should avoid ideas simply because they dislike them.

Instead, you keep reaching for personal attacks while lecturing others about critical thinking.

The most amusing part is the level of condescension. You quote Mark Twain, tell me I probably have never heard of him, announce that you are graciously willing to waste some of your monthly quota of time on me, and then spend several paragraphs explaining how intellectually superior you think you are.

At some point you should ask yourself whether you are actually arguing against my position or just performing for an audience.

For someone so concerned about arrogance, you seem remarkably confident that disagreement with you can only be explained by stupidity.

    That is a long ass comment just to demonstrate you don't know who Mark was lol. Do you have a hard on when you write shit like this, or only when you read it back?

    That is not “beating me with experience.” It is avoiding the substance of the discussion. LMFAO - you really didn't get the quote did you? You are one the most eloquent demonstration of the relevance of it that I've came across.

    Go read the fucking Mein Kampf and jerk with nazis on twitter, I don't give a fuck. I should also check out Jordan Peterson and the late Charlie Kirk (you're probably already a fan).

    I sure am.

    I think I see some master-debating people right there, on facebook. You should go have a high-level intellectual discussion about why it's important to promote a website that financially supports neonazis. You're gonna fit just right.

    Have a wonderful day. X X X
