I'm not a robot so I understand what someone is saying without them having to spell it out for me. Be brave and own your words and if you can't then think about

  To help diffuse the tribal part of one's brain: yep, Musk should not have called him a pedophile or kept claiming it so. Now: > I'm not a robot so I understand what someone is saying without them having to spell it out for me Ah, I see. You're one of those people who tries to look at "what motivated this person to say this?" rather than looking at what they actually said, right? Someone more concerned with what "side" someone is on/pushing than on actually transmitting an accurate model of reality? So if I said something like "the Ghost of Kiev is just a fairy tale" you would assume I'm pro-Russian invasion of Ukraine and if I say "climate change is very unlikely to cause human extinction this century" you'd assume I'm a climate change denier? I think the thing you're missing is that people are different. While a lot of the people you interact with are, indeed, like this, some will be more like this: https://xkcd.com/386/ https://xkcd.com/386/ And if you don't understand that other types of people exist you're going to expose yourself to needless conflict. :/
