I define civilized as not resorting to rude assertions such as:
> they want to squeeze every story into a large conversation so they can take the moral high ground against straw man arguments

I am not insane in thinking this is an abrasive way of presenting one's arguments.

If you can’t handle discussing ideas or accept that you might offend others with your ignorance then perhaps don’t engage in conversations.
