There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

Why can't people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

You have solidified that you are a weak and gutless person and you are the very type of person you claim to hate. You are awful for society.

And there it is. You finally show your true colours. Please stop trying to think so highly of yourself and leave this forum. This isn't "censorship", by the way. You are just an asshole.

Respectful of what?

[–] smorks@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

respectful of other people.

I'm getting direct insults but I'm not complaining, that's how life goes.

[–] smorks@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

and that's your choice. if continue to insult others, you will be banned.

Well, now the claws come out. Now explain to me how defending my right to thrive and not having it up for debate makes me weaker than someone who already has those rights and just wants to limit mine?

You live your life based on what other people says, you are looking for acknowledgement and permission from others.

If someone hates that you are alive, it causes you no harm and has no relevance to your life as long as that person is not restraining you or physically blocking your movements. If someone condems you, by you reacting to that you are giving them power over you.

Have you heard the phrase "Allowing someone to live in your head rent free"?

I don’t worry about individual people hating me. Nobody lives in my head rent free, but I do stay aware of the consequences of group hate. Giving that hate a platform allows it to grow to more people and become an issue. My people are under real attack and it would be foolish for me to ignore that.

So I am a fan of deplatforming hate. Other topics however, I am more than glad to talk about and debate about.
