    They were the very definition of sealioning. What does “why is nervous bad?” have to do with answering the question “why is authoritarianism bad?”

    The rules they sited just aren’t true. I wanted nothing but discussion on the topic and I did not bait anyone.

    Edit: sorry, maybe you do get baited with such controversial topics like, “authoritarianism is bad”

    Edit2: is this bait?

    Edit3:

    Bait?

    Edit4:

    Let me guess, not bait, right?

      You don’t understand what sealioning is if you think that’s what it is.

      That’s socratic dialogue, not sealioning.

      When someone asks questions to illuminate a path of thinking that leads the questioner to the answer they were looking for, that’s a totally different thing than trying to mislead the questioner and the onlookers by asking misleading questions.

      You got a discussion on the topic. You got someone that took the time to show you the answer to your question by taking you on a tour of your own thinking.

        What does, “why is nervous bad?” have to do with “why is authoritarianism bad?” GTFO

        There was nothing socratic about it. They literally just took the last thing I said and went, “why?”

        Socrates would laugh in your face.

          Okay, now you’ve progressed to being an asshole to someone engaging with you in good faith.

          If that’s the way you want to be as a person, there’s nothing I can do to change it, so have a good day.

            You’re not engaging in good faith. Answer my first question. You can’t.

            Two responses and the answer just escapes you.

              As a third party, I concur that they are engaging in good faith and you’re acting toxicly.
