      I think 80% of this phenomenon has nothing to do with the person saying interesting things or not (I've been called alt-righter and commie alike here on Twitter, FYI). Rather is what happens when you refuse to take someone's fundamental beliefs for granted in conversation.

      You tell me something is either good or terrible. I tell you I don't follow your logic. You give me flimsy ideological argument, I reject it. You label me diametrically opposed to you in politics. Very few people know how to handle these conversations without losing their minds.

      Sometimes, it's maybe a clue that something has been argued in bad faith before. E.g. try talking to an actual alt-righter, communist, buddhist (lol) or other ideologue on a contentious topic online. You'll be misrepresented, insulted and lied about. So you tap out.

      you experienced that kind of treatment from a buddhist? what were you trying to discuss?

      You a buddhist or not, personally? Just asking so I know the context a bit better. The short answer is non-buddhist perspectives on elements of buddhist philosophy & ontology, especially as interpreted by westerners, but really just in general, are not often welcome.

      personally I am a "bad" buddhist, if that means anything to you. I promise you that my question is not loaded and I'm not trying to argue with you or dispute anything. I'm just curious. I tend to be very very allergic to theological or ideological combat.

      Now that I know a bit more about you, I'll thread it: - I am a complete spiritual eclectic. I use theravada, zen, yoga-I-don't-fully-understand, western magick and philosophy interchangably. This pisses off certain buddhists, because I refuse to speak only their language.

      - I think much of buddhist ontology, and much of the core philosophy of vajrayana and mahayana in particular, is deeply fucked and abusive, and this REALLY pisses off certain buddhists. I can understand why, but I don't particularly care.

      - A lot of the things I say about spirituality or meditation are no doubt a bit stupid or silly, but buddhists in particular tend to respond with passive-aggressive comments or unfollowing, whereas others ten to either engage, ignore or go "don't be a moron", essentially.

      my own practice is also extremely eclectic and incorporates an awful lot of not-technically-buddhist stuff. I never really thought twice about it though. There's a long history of buddhism incorporating and adapting around other traditions.

          Oh, definitely. Sometimes I think of myself as a sort of hidden Zen practitioner. Everything I do is related to Zen - I just don't talk about it that way.
