Hey man,
I'm not trying to be snotty. I'm trying to explain what the "free speech" side of the argument is.
I'm not saying his is invalid, or that he didn't bring up point, but I'm stating why there is concern from those concerned with free speech and "de-platforming."
I don't think asking for a debate is "snotty" or "insufferable", but if I am, please let me know where I'm wrong :)
- aoeusnth1 9y agoLinking to your own comment without adding anything implies the you don't need to dignify their comment with a response. That's not asking for debate, it's actively avoiding a debate while implying their commment has no substance, and they have limited reading comprehension. That comes across as snotty and insufferable.
