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

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'

You're not disagreeing with me here. Having common ground and being prepared to find it are different.
