My statements are polarized. Polarization has the advantage of making clear points.
Fair enough.
LW is a forum. It’s not a host.
Still, wouldn’t you say LW should at least strive to provide a fairly pleasant environment for its frequenters?
As long as he’s not willing to be asked why he believes what he believes (’being interrogated”), he’s not in that category. Not being willing to go there, leads to a lot of pointless debates for the sake of debating.
On the other hand it’s something that he can easily change if he’s willing.
I don’t really disagree with this, but I’m not sure his behavior in this thread alone can be used as a reliable indicator of whether he’s willing to be “interrogated”. Possibly he may be more receptive to questioning in other threads.
