- If someone has internalised a position as a part of themselves then an attack on that position is now a personal attack and will be treated as such. ( this is one reason why you see such visceral responses to what would normally be minor disagreements )
- Not everybody is looking for (or will even consider) a differing viewpoint, they will just ignore anything outside of their bubble because they don’t care about factual accuracy as much as they care about validation.
- Bad faith isn’t always intentional trolling, some people are just natural arseholes ( like babies aren’t trying to make your ears bleed with their crying, it’s just one of the only means of communication available to them )
