CHAPTER XIX
That one should not avoid being despised and hated
Machiavelli, Niccolò . The Prince
"Your argument doesn't completely make sense, can you explain more and give an example?"
"LOL I guess some people are just closed minded"
Sounds like Sun Tzu guy would be right at home on Lemmy
I don't think they were really asking for an example.
Immidately jumping to the conclusion that something is rage bait is closed-minded.
I don’t think they were really asking for an example.
They literally did. They really asked for an example. It's in the words that they used, which is the only relevant factor for determining whether or not they asked for an example.
I mean they weren't shy about saying also that they were having trouble understanding the thought process to such an extent that they felt like it was ragebait. I mean maybe that's not productive to do. But staking out your own point of view while also asking honest open questions about the other person's point of view and asking for clarification and details is pretty much how productive conversation happens. Just coming out of the blue as "do you have an example?" and only that, can be mischaracterized in exactly the same way and met with the same 100% unproductive response (and often is), so why bother shying away from it, is my feeling.
To me it came off as rethorical.
There's a person on lemmy using the name. They're a bit off their rocker tbh.
I think I know the person you mean lol
And yes, they're nuts.
I saw someone using the name Genius, though I don't recall the instance, and they were a certifiable dumbass.

But still above par, considering the competition...
