In X-men days of future past Charles Xavier said: ‘You are not afraid of others’ pain, its yours that you fear. Face the pain, accept, see it because it would make you stronger. Our greatest gift is to bear all the pain and suffering of others and not break, and still have hope″
I think that’s bunk. Instead of quoting feel-good applause lights expressing conventional sentimental made-up fiction from people who have never existed, try responding to the arguments and presenting facts.
I like it—it helps me stop thinking I can mentalise a given random persons minds. I don’t know what about it you think is bunk, but that’s okay. I’ll respond if it will calm you down cause you sound agitated.

So we’re done here. Thanks for nothing.
Clearly you were trying to convince someone of something. That sounds like an argument to me (if not necessarily a logical one).
