This discussion is over because you're arguing in bad faith.



I was willing to discuss the topic with you, but since you refuse to do so honestly, you have given up all claim to my attention. I will not waste my time taking our discussion more seriously than you take it.

While I do not owe you any further explanation, I might indicate that one or more of the following gave you away:

1. You grossly misrepresented my point, turning it into something silly that you could rebut, since you couldn't address my actual point. (Straw man fallacy.)

2. You completely ignored the fact that I have already refuted your point. You either continued to assert the same misinformation without addressing the refutation, or you immediately moved on to assert new misinformation.

3. You have shown by your actions (during or before our discussion) that you don't even believe the words you just said.

4. You literally insulted me for being a good person. (For example, you might have said, "cuck," "social justice warrior," "ni**er-lover," "feminazi," or "politically correct" (which is a derogatory way to say, "respectful").)

5. You compared a cry for justice to oppression. To ask people (including you) to not do harmful things is to oppose oppression. If you think that your "right" to harm people is more important than their right to be free from your harm, you are an entitled, sociopathic brat.

6. You attacked good people but claimed to be neutral. Pretending that "both sides are the same" is a transparent attempt to silence good people who are trying to stop bad people from continuing to oppress and murder. In the fight between right and wrong, between good and evil, "objectively neutral" validates the wrong and empowers the evil. You are not "neutral" or "objective". You are merely a scared sycophant supporting oppressors by trying to keep people from making waves.

7. You object to being associated with the position that you fervently support. (For example, you support fascism, Nazi apologism, white supremacy, or sexism, but object to being called "fascist," "Nazi apologist," "white supremacist," or "sexist".)

8. Cursing me out is not an argument. It merely reveals your frustration with your own inability to argue your point.

9. You just told a bald-faced lie to support your position. Did you seriously think I couldn't look it up? If you have to lie to make your case, you don't have a case.




In case it wasn't clear, this page is a resource for people arguing online. When the person you were arguing with shows that they were wasting your time, but you just can't let their final comment go unanswered, give them a link to this page. Their exact transgression need not show up here.

If you feel maligned, or think that you were sent here inappropriately, suck it up. The discussion is over, and you have nothing to gain by attempting to draw it out.

Feel free to add more numbered points in the comments!
