For someone who said they're open to having their views challenged, the tenacity with which you respin other's arguments suggests the opposite. I see little to no engagement with the argument's content, a lot of objections to form, and a lot of interpretation.
You don't come off as someone who wants to have good faith discussions. Instead you come off as someone who wants to bait people into replying, then go word-for-word through their reply to find any gotcha moment you can to match your spin.
In this reply chain for example, you've:
- framed me as thinking CBC is far left (a lie)
- put words in the mouth of another commenter,
- removed critical points from my comment,
- simplified my argument to a straw-man,
- tried to convert an opinion into a statement of fact by accusing me of just using "weasel words",
- inferred my motive, and
- accused me of leaving out other arguments.
This topic is inherently opinion based. I've been clear that's what I'm offering. Multiple times now you've accused me otherwise. You're free to respectfully disagree with my opinion, but this is neither respectful, nor a discussion of opinion with you at this point.
I'm not going to go any further with you down this line of conversation. Have a nice day.

I said I'm open to having my mind changed that CBC is not far left and you came up with this whole thing about them talking about how to go public if you quit from a workplace you find sexist as though it's some kind of supporting point. I called it a bad point and now you're crying about it. >then accused me of leaving out other arguments. Did you not?
