    We've swung the pendulum too far to the other side. People are being too gentle and diplomatic. We've forgotten part of why bullying works. Some people need to be chased away from the discourse. We had to chase so many people away to get the community and the vibes we have here now.

    People like that I posted here should not feel comfortable acting like they are right now. They should be bullied to the point of silence for the sake of those around them, an for the sake of themselves becoming a lurker and hopefully acculturated to the community they've just joined.

    Feel free to bully me if I'm wrong.

        Reddit bingo:

        Uses debate terms incorrectly

        Smug

        Refuses to read and acts like that makes him the victor

        Baseless accusations about his opponent's personal character

        Cringe

            Maybe you'll get crippling depression and doomerism if you keep winning the bingo!

          I think the Tesla consoomer bro I argued with earlier today didn't just get a Reddit bingo, but filled the entire card. cringe

        Importantly this was deployed in a reply to someone calling them out for completely ignoring a cited argument. The "strawman" here is saying something went over their head.

                That emoji makes debatebros seem too cool. They deserve something worse like very-intelligent

            I'm sure of it.

            And why do these debatelords only ever reflexively invoke the same one or two fallacies all the time? Where's the love for equivocation? The non sequitur? The composition fallacy! Lord knows they have enough experience with that last one

              I used non-sequitor! Dude was trying to compare the situation in Ukraine to the Palestinian crisis, saying that if Russia was justified in invading Ukraine (which was not my arguement) then Israel was justified in occupying Palestine!

              They of course rejected the idea that it was a non-sequitor and continued posting bizarre things.

                Wait, didn't Palestine hold the area before (current) Israel? I'm terrible at modern history.

      Guilty. I have engaged too many people in good faith only to have my good faith thrown back in my face covered in poop and pee and things less definable.
