    Blatant straw-men have already occurred with me; in my view the door is open. I have no problem dishing back what was already served. If they want to dial it down, then I shall treat them with the utmost respect but these, “Got it. You just don’t x.” responses are tiresome. Of all the things you could hit me for, I believe this is pretty light but I’ll own it as a fallacy.

          another appeal to ridicule? can’t you just accept that it takes two to tango, and you are actively making this place worse?

            No seriously, are you okay? It does not, in fact, take two, lest you seek one person to run their mouths and the other to just take it. So unless you’re suggesting we enable bullying without pushing the bully back or fallacies without objection, I’m not really sure what the point is that you’re making.

            So kindly explain your thought-process when you respond with simply re-quoting what I said and nothing more; for overall I think my comments remained largely neutral, barring the low-hanging fruit you identified and which I even acknowledged.

                I’m fine with that; just make sure you go to the other user in the thread and say the same thing.

                Did you do that?

                Did you tell them as well that, “it takes two to tango”?

                Curiously you did not.

                    Who’s engaging dishonestly? Citation needed. That has yet to be substantively evinced.

                    Double-standard.

                    Ask both. Go on… It “takes two to tango,” after all.

                What’s hypocritical about noting, “these, ‘Got it. You just don’t x.’ responses are tiresome”? Do you not recognize the obvious snarkiness and straw-man fallacy? Are you saying I’m not allowed to call this out?

                And why are you replying multiple times to the same comment instead of just consolidating your response into one?

                  i’m saying you are doing teh same thing, and you’re right that they are exhausting, so you should also knock it off.

                  i don’t like to have multiple ideas in one comment, and i have found it’s an excellent tactic for breaking up a gish gallop. you can read more here:
