    Yeah this a wall of text. To be honest I can’t really spend my already limited time reading 15 paragraphs from someone who ignores relevant points I raise.

    In this case, I addressed the ban reason given, and yet you try to argue more about it as though I didn’t. If you cared about more than disputing me, you might see that this was probably death by a million paper cuts.

      TLDR to save you from a wall of text - we seem to agree on at least 99% and I’m not even sure what we’re disagreeing about anymore.

      you might see that this was probably death by a million paper cuts.

      Yes, I can easily see that being the case for that user.

      Yeah this a wall of text. To be honest I can’t really spend my already limited time reading 15 paragraphs from someone who ignores relevant points I raise.

      False premise? If you read it you’d have seen that I did not ignore those points but either agreed with or responded to each of them. Edit: So, while I certainly have no right to tell you what you should do with your time, perhaps it’s still possible that you can find a way to spend your “already limited time reading 15 paragraphs from someone [who acknowledges] relevant points” that you raised.

      In this case, I addressed the ban reason given, and yet you try to argue more about it as though I didn’t.

      So this is a bit odd. I disagreed with Monk on a lot, but I never felt that his responses to me ever became uncordial.

      Between you and me, it sounds like we maybe agree on 95% or 99% of the points. And yet, somehow this convo seems to be the one taking a more unfriendly turn.

      Anyways, I wasn’t arguing about the ban reason but attempting clarify that I was speaking against one particular thing w/o disagreeing with the rest.

      If you cared about more than disputing me,

      Sorry, I have a second wall of text you’d have to read. But in that I list out a lot of the different things I care about, and also the why.

      Edit: I guess one might also ask why I spent so much time discussing this with you. Well, in fact, you’re exactly the type of person that the fediverse needs to be encouraging. Your script was useful, and I’m sure you’ll come up with many more greater and brilliant things as you spend more time on the fediverse. Basically, the fediverse needs you and more folks like you, so I was trying to turn around an engagement that might have started off the wrong foot around into a more positive one.
