    I am rabidly anti-authoritarian but I am fantasising abt re-education camps where people are taught how arguments work right now.

        My fantasy re-education camp is now surpassing Dante's 9 circles of hell. In the centre, are people who tell others what they really mean.

        Helen, you can step back a bit. You don't owe anyone a response. Don't allow yourself to get frazzled by people whose only aim is that.

        I don't seem to have these skills. These stepping back, no responding, not getting frazzled skills. I just want people to make sense!

        I realize you do. But other people are deliberate time wasters. It's a coup for them to occupy your time and frustrate your good nature.

        I think most are sincere! But very very wrong! How do I learn to tolerate people being wrong? How do I stop being so baitable?

        Maybe a test of sorts to weed out the most egregious time wasters and certaintists?

        "Do you think there is any ground for discussion?" -or- "Do you think there is a possibility you are wrong?" If answer is no, disengage...

        That's a good idea. Also rules for myself. Stop if you're repeating yourself, if you're knowingly misrepresented, if you're insulted.

        Apparently courteous disagreement while facing multiple, brazen opponents, alone, in their corner of Twitter is "lecturing"

        Over here, that used to be called "high school". (Speech class, freshman year. Also, college requirement.)

        Helen, we have those. They're called schools. And they just suck at what they're doing.
