Saying that kinda cuts against your point, doesn't it? You're stating an opinion, then implying that the only disagreement you'll get is hate speech (before anyone has said anything). That's a hostile way to open a conversation and is exactly the opposite of the way one would talk in order to foster genuine cooperation.
- h2odragon 6y agoIt is trolling, I admit; but also I've been accused of being a Nazi for saying things like this for the past couple years more times than I can count, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it happens this time.
- ivraatiems 6y agoBut how can I be expected to work with or engage with you when your first approach to me is trolling? That on its face suggests that we can't have a good-faith discussion. If you say something I don't like, I won't be sure I can say "I don't like that" without being accused of being censorious, etc.
- h2odragon 6y agoIndeed you can't be sure of a reception that meets your expectations. its a risk. bless you for taking it in this case.
- ivraatiems 6y agoThat's nonsense. What a great way to ensure everything is someone else's fault.
