Coz the assumption is there that someone requires an intervention to instill doubt re: an unsubstantiated truth claim.

I disagree with this assumption. What if, when James explained himself, I agreed with him? Would I want him to doubt?

Could this conversation also have gone better if James didn't take a condescending approach?

I kind of saw that the other way round. :-/ I thought SE in a scenario of political disagreement came across as condescending.

Don't want to discuss your or James' attitudes, as such.I know you both to be sincere & well-motivated but discussion technique

I think if one person speaking naturally abt his position & the other 'could you be wrong? & 'Sorry you feel that way'...1/2

it turns into an intervention rather than a conversation on a subject that can be argued for or against with reasoned points.

You've conflated my intentions based on the method I choose to engage.

I guess there's no need to continue if you don't want to engage my actual intentions, and instead assume why I do what I do. Thanks, Helen

Oh, Dan! Don't be like this. I wish I'd not said anything now. :( I debated with myself whether to or not.
