I think both of you could learn about the term “be the bigger man.” How absolutely disappointing that you both react to each other with spiraling passive-aggression rather than sympathy or mutual understanding. Please, let’s keep lemmy habitable.
I don’t think I’ve made any passive aggressive comments – most/all of my replies are briefly noting the other posters aggressiveness, and then expanding on points I’d made to try and clarify, in hopes that the other poster would grow up, or to allow them to continue to lob personal attacks to highlight just how baseless their position is/was. After recognising the other persons a .ml, and the reputation .ml has, I realise there’s likely not much point to it though.
I’m not pretending I have some moral high ground here. However, doing hand wringing about decorum while ignoring the fact that wampus here is trying to dismiss a study on Canada’s role in colonialism is focusing entirely on the wrong thing.
A sharp dismissal of absurdity draws a clear line, shows others they don’t have to entertain every bad argument, and prevents the conversation from being derailed. If you want to spend your life debating trolls then go ahead and do that.

this is on both of you :|

I’d feel much more sympathetic to that response if you hadn’t been such an asshole in this thread.
