I have observed two threads today discussing "debating" topics, either here on Spoutible or in audio or video media.
I don't debate my climate/ecosystem threads. My position is opposite the widely held positions. Both common positions have deep pools of established talking points. There is no need

for me to spend my time attempting to defend my position against them.
Further, I choose not to air those talking points on my TL.
If you disagree, that's fine. If you choose to say, "I disagree," that's tolerable.
If you choose to respond with industry standard talking points, I choose to block.

If you think that's unreasonable, I can understand that, but - it's a decision I spent many years over in birdland arriving at and thinking through. Meaning no offense, but it's my way.

PS I *always* block personal insults. I make no apologies for that - I think everyone should block personal insults.
Personal insults have become a standard part of social interaction in the 21st century and I strongly disapprove. YMMV
