      To claim yourself to be pedantic is to admit to a failing. It can be an apology, self-deprecation or a request for advice to overcome it.

      Similar to the pedants are the people who look for loopholes in everything to deliberately misunderstand points that are quite clear.

      R Dawkins once - "Banning women from driving is wrong!" 25 tiresome idiots - "Even if they've been convicted of drunk or dangerous driving?"

      Pedantry & loophole-hunting are ways to avoid engaging with people's ideas & quite different to hashing out fine details & devil's advocacy.

      If I read your words this way, I can show why its wrong! Let me clarify my meaning. No, I really want to argue against what you didn't mean.

      I have a block policy for ppl doing this now & quite a few things which clearly show they have no intention of attempting honest discussion.

      I might have to make a list similar to the one I have for muting ppl who seem genuinely incapable of conversation. I like lists.pic.twitter.com/YoPHnERHmd

      Some people think blocking & muting is necessarily the same thing as setting up an echo-chamber but this misunderstands the concept.

      In an echo chamber you surround urself with ppl who reflect your values & politics back at you, confirming your sense of your own rightness

      Muting or blocking ppl you've found can't/won't have an honest conversation is a necessity if u don't want to waste time on them again.

      Many of the people I've muted or blocked have shared my politics & values completely.
