   @HeavenlyPossum Is dunking on someone like this who seems like they've correctly called out a weak argument is really that best use of one's platform?

     I couldn’t tell you if they called out a weak argument or not. Is that what you think happened in that exchange? Because that was not my experience of it.

     @HeavenlyPossum The conversation looked like this to me.

     H: "mirror image"
     O: Is that really a mirror image?
     H: I just said that to make someone else think, not to state.
     O: But you did state it.
     H: This is a semantic game. No.

     You make a lot of moral arguments generally, and this isn't the first time I've seen conversations you're a part of where you hard backpedal to disengage like "this is social media, I owe no one nothing" when someone seems to want to play the logic/argument/rhetorical games you seem to be engaging in.

     Like if you're going to post moral statements on social media, other people are going to respond, and this kinda heavy handed "no, you're wrong, you're a sealion, get out of my mentions" approach isn't going to help people learn, yourself included.

     It is the eternal September, and we are forever going to have to have these discussions.

     I’m sorry that was your experience of that exchange. I don’t think that’s an accurate reflection of what I said, and it entirely misses the context of my previous interaction with that person and the ongoing conversation that person tried to derail.
