So, telling people to not try and be funny, even those you agree with, is definitely alienating your allies. I hear what you're saying, but I have also seen parents losing their ever loving shit at PTA meetings... And to say that everyone must treat those ignorant displays with quiet respect, because CRT was mentioned... Seems a bit beyond the pale.

So I spoke up to try and explain to this group the pitfall of continuing the jokes on this particular subject. Likewise everyone should speak up at PTA meetings despite the flack. Not certain my work is being appreciated by the local memelords here.

Well, some advice you didn't ask for, and that I don't always follow: it's easier to start a conversation where it is, and direct people towards the productive conversation you want to have, than to start off by calling someone a villain for something they already said. You didn't make your point easy to appreciate.

I will say you've given me some food for thought, though.

Fair, and I certainly got people’s attention.

Yes, having an obvious mental handicap makes you stand out.

Having a minority opinion is no reason for being verbally abused. You’re out of line.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, willfully ignorant opinions do tend to be in the minority. Your lack of comprehension and cognizance is an insult to reality. Stop inflicting your miasma of stupidity on others, you're out of line.

My guy, this was a respectful conversation. Where the hell did that come from? You're allowed to disagree with @Xanthobilly, but you're way out of line.

Wilful ignorance and deliberate belligerence are not respectful, how dare you be so intellectually disingenuous. It may have been 'polite' but it was far from respectful.

Can you point out the wilful ignorance or deliberate belligerence? Not including the guy who called the stuff he didn't like to read a "miasma of stupidity"

So, no. You're just looking for someone to hear you scream. Cool.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Don't conflate your ignorance with other people's knowledge.

[-] Tumnus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What's wrong with you? Are you just a troll, or do you have an actual mental issue?

[-] BruceDoh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

And you're a whiny baby loser.
