And I say 'No, I'm encouraging you to write your counterview. In an essay. With supporting evidence. Not in a paragraph to me."

U think it belongs in an essay. I can't really tell from this outline. Write the argument. 'Well if you're not open to discussion, I'll go!'

I find people very hard to understand a lot of the time. I understand ideologies & psychology underlying them quite well but outside this..?

In order to maintain their believes, without answering, unwelcome behaviour will be ascribed to you. A justification for avoidance.

It's like a boomerang effect isn't it. They act uncivil & accuse you of the same behavior. Trump does this too.

But they just seem really sure of an argument. Enough to write to me & tell me I should have argued it. Then offended I suggest they do!
