Again, fair point. But given the incredible reach @elibosnick actually does have, I suspect that this is disingenuous reasoning.
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
-
I think you do have to be prepared to try to find some common ground even if its just 'we both care about human rights'
-
Coz then you can go from there. Its not just 'You're evil & wrong' 'No, you're evil & wrong.' Me, on this:pic.twitter.com/yP24pHDoy2

I don't talk to those MRAs coz they just repeat that society is fully gynocentric, men are 100% victims & (sometimes) women are evil
-
You can try to introduce counterpoints and you can agree that some aspects of society disadvantage men but they won't stray from the script.
-
Which I have already agreed are not conversations so while good points really aren't relevant to our discussion.

Also, did you request the discussion and then ignore or is this an attempted discussion a response to something you shared/wrote?
-
The latter but I don't think people are committed to talking to anyone. If they don't want to talk to you, stop bothering them.
-
Again I agree. No one has to talk to anyone. But its counterproductive to request the conversation & then ignore. What does that accomplish
-
That's a different issue. I was talking about that thread. However, I suggest getting over it. Clearly changed mind. Take the hint?
-
Is it difficult to state you've changed your mind? If you put the request out there and then ignore people who respond it's on you to inform
-
Ah! So did he not actually ask Eli to respond? And was Eli annoyed coz he wasn't interested in a response from him?
-
He asked anyone to respond, if I remember. And I don't think Eli cares except that he believes James to be very wrong.
-
And he can think so. Anyone can. They can't demand to be heard if they're not approaching the subject reasonably.
