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.
@[email protected] Trying the yes, and approach… given that this is an open forum and conversation and learning is kind 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 silent. 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?
@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.
