This post (and the one below) quite bothers me as well.
Yeah I know you can’t have the time to address everything you encounter but you are:
-Not allowed to tell people that they don’t know what they’re talking about until they’ve read a bunch of lengthy articles, then tell someone who has done that and wrote something a fraction of the length to fuck off.
-Not allowed to publicly complain that people don’t criticize you from a place of understanding without reading the attempts to do so
-Not allowed to seriously advocate for policy that would increase the likelihood of armed conflict up to and including nuclear war if you’re not willing to engage with people who give clearly genuine and high effort discussion about why they think the policy is unnecessary.
if you’re not willing to engage with people who give clearly genuine and high effort discussion about why they think the policy is unnecessary
Briefly noting that the policy “I will not respond to every single high-effort criticism I receive” is very different from “I am not willing to engage with people who give high-effort criticism.”
And the policy “sometimes I will ask people who write high-effort criticism to point me to their strongest argument and then I will engage with that” is also different from the two policies mentioned above.
