Dark Young Link 08/27/18 2:04:42 AM #97:	MariaTaylor posted... what if you're being dismissed because you have a tendency to revert to previously established positions after the other person already went through way too much effort trying to have a reasonable discussion with you in the past? honestly I think dismissing people based on past experiences is fine. I agree with the sentiment. Unfortunately, it's hard to recall that ever happening with me. Usually it's people who distort my argument into something it's not, or someone who starts off condescendingly who never had a plan to have a civil conversation in the first place. I mean, I get that I can be a stubborn bastard at times. I'm not the type of person who would intentionally disregard a valid point, though I can be scatterbrained at times so there's a chance I'm just not remembering something. MariaTaylor posted... when board 8 users get upset that I'm too "mean" to them and stop listening to me, put me on ignore, or stop taking me seriously, I don't get upset about it or anything. I don't crave some kind of reality where I can force them to listen to my arguments. who really cares? my ideal world isn't one where everyone agrees with me. it's one where people take seriously well thought out positions which reflect observable reality. unfortunately, your positions don't seem to be based on that. it's just not worth it for me to engage you on that level. Only time I stop taking someone seriously is when they have proven to be trollish time and time again. Normally I just block that person, but I haven't blocked you(obviously). I'm not the type to complain about someone being mean... because I'm so used to that, it would be like complaining about the 36th hair on my arm. (Unless you're going above and beyond, but at that point it just falls back under "Not even attempting to have a conversation") MariaTaylor posted... right, and the fact that you SINCERELY believe this somehow despite being shown contrary data in the past is a good indication for why your opinion can be dismissed. Contrary data? Please show me that. I would love to verify that our lawmakers actually give a shit. --- https://imgur.com/gOGzcN4 <cite>Dark Young Link posted [p:907614721] in It is time...
