This is really an embarrassingly small way to behave. Engage with ideas different than your own or end up in your little echo chamber
Big can certainly mean reach & it might do here. I'm not a mind-reader. I'm pointing out its given as a reason for not needing to mute.

Not as a reason for not talking to someone. We know James has talked to many small podcasts.

However, as a side point, whether or not someone is a significant influence depends on who they are influencing & whether you respect them.

Some big names among MRAs & alt-right have attacked me. I don't care coz they have zero influence among people whose thinking I respect.

This also isn't about attacking anyone. It is about having a discussion or ignoring a discussion based on being "big"
-
I ignore them when they try to have a discussion with me too. I'm ignoring a very big one right now. Nothing to gain from it.
-
Nothing to gain from discussion? Do you think both you and I will leave this discussion having gained nothing? If so, why bother?

I have clearly said there is nothing to gain from certain people's discussions. Those who are rigid & wed to an ideology. No common ground.

I don't believe you need common ground with everyone you converse with. It's good to disagree. Hone your argument. Plant seeds of doubt
