I see everyone is discovering why ignored this guy months ago.

I said this the other day and people on both sides were all "nah he's a good guy"

I'll repeat again that redsox is totally fine. Again, what irritates me is not a disagreement of opinions, but someone arguing in bad faith. He doesn't peddle weird conspiracy theories, doesn't spend the topic trolling us or repeating arguments he stole from the front page or r/the_donald, and he never spends entire topics insulting us for little to no reason.

I certainly think he has bad opinions on some things and that he isn't the best at arguing his point (like how he sort of just skims over the best arguments against what he's saying and addresses other straw men many times of his own creation).

I don't think that makes him worthy of an ignore. He simply has some bad opinions on certain things and is entrenched in his way of thinking. That describes most people. I don't think it is good for political discourse to just ignore someone because their opinions annoy you. I think most people in here have done a really good job arguing against his points, which is great because that means your beliefs were challenged and reaffirmed.

Again, feel free to ignore whoever you want. But pretty soon we won't have anyone to debate with, which I always thought was half the fun of these topics.
