"If you block someone when X, then you're not really here to have a debate..." - egads, no, some people aren't here to have a debate and that's fine. The logic bros never seem to get that. Consent applies to all interactions.

"So you want to live in an echo chamber, never have your ideas challenged and stifle innovation?" - you don't innovate, you keep rehashing the same debunked nonsense under new labels to dehumanise minorities. Take your gender critical Christian race science traditional values and fuck off.

YES!!! I chose whether I want to debate you or not. It’s not a requirement.

It's worse than that. Sea lions are harmful, but mostly they just waste time. The debate nutters are more insidious, as they use the aesthetics of rational debate in bad faith to give ideas like racism and fascism an air of respectability. It's ideology laundering.

I wouldn't go that far - disagreement in good faith is fine and healthy. But debate bros aren't looking for a conversation - the point of their faux-rational "marketplace of ideas" is laundering bigotry and conspiracy theories. I added a post to the thread to clarify.

Good post. I will generally listen to anyone that wants to engage, but the bad faith actors usually show their true colors in the initial reply or soon after.
