I really, deeply wish everyone would make some collective effort to unlearn the passive argumentative nature we all learned from Twitter.Everyone always treated posts like invitations to debate or argue every point.We deserve better than this. We don’t have to do that.

@louie Trying the yes, and approach… given that this is an open forum and conversation and learning is kind of the of the purpose, how do you imagine a better way? Your statement is quite strong and people might disagree (as they do, I won’t talk about my perspective).I’m not sure it’s better if we stick to agreeing or being silence. That’s not how anything changes or convergence can be reached.Have you considered that getting contra might be a good way to learn something?

It’s so ingrained that lots of people don’t realize they’re doing it. They think they’re just “making conversation.”There are so many ways of making conversation that aren’t just contradicting the person.That doesn’t mean the only option is to agree either! These are false choices you don’t have to adhere to.

@b3n It is tedious to repeat myself for a constantly evolving new audience, but— If you wish to discuss or debate with someone, I suggest you ask first. It is important to have consent from someone you expect to receive attention from or engage with.It is unreasonable to that every person wants to engage with you.It is the difference between venting and looking for conversation or help. Sometimes it's just best to ask before you offer what the other person isn't looking for.

@b3n @louie Totally agree with you, I wish I could of blocked you before seeing your crappy opinion in my feed, wasting my time. Is there a preemptive “block crappy people button”?

@louie All that said: you stated your opinion and are free to it. You also implicitly ask people who follow you or follow your boosting followers to spend time to read it so I’m not sure your argument is morally sound. (Thanks to the reply button) You’re not entitled to not listen to people who (thanks to the algorithm) “have” to listen to you.But yeah, we can all block along, this is a free world :)

Put frankly: people don’t care about opinions from people they wouldn’t ask advice from.Stop offering your opinion to people who don’t even know you. They don’t care.For any of that to have meaning or weight, you’ve gotta have some kind of rapport or relationship with them.Offering your opinions without those things is completely meaningless.

I think part of this I attribute to Twitter because it popularized one-way relationships (follows vs mutual friendship) as a platform.It gave lots of people the idea they were closer to the person they were replying to than they actually were.It’s not all bad, many friendships can blossom from that. But I maintain that a bad way to make friends with a stranger is to argue with them.

[This post was—of course—not intended to be bait, but if you would like to test my very clear boundaries, you will be very swiftly blocked.]

@louie Posting on an open forum, in public, is and invitation to discourse in my book.Meeting strangers and discussing things of mutual interest is why I'm on here; if you're not on here for the same reason, then as you so dismissively put it,"Begone."
