Why do you turn everything into an inflammatory question?

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was a genuine question. What is inflammatory about it. Some people don't care some do.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

No. No it was not. None of them have been.

Let's take your first question.

Honest question, are you good just passively watching all this MAGA shit spread?

There was nothing honest about this. I said I didn't want to read the Facebook post. An honest question would have been:

I know there are many reasons why not you but why don't you want to go on Facebook?

That's an honest question.

You had a very obvious agenda. You are obviously trying to bait me into some argument, which I am not getting into with you. Your question was completely dishonest, because it both did not ask me about anything relevant to what I said, and there was also no way for me to answer you without you having a fully planned response.

We aren't taking the rage bait. That's for Facebook. Stop trying to bait us.

You’re arguing decorum after opening by dismissing the post solely because it came from Facebook. You didn't bother to watch it. That’s not principled discourse that’s selective tone policing

Engage with the content. If you don’t want to engage, then move on. Don't come here to smugly dismiss it. But writing it off based on platform and then lecturing others about how questions should be phrased. That's hypocritical.

You don’t get to police comments after you’ve already derailed the conversation.

You made a comment on a post to say 'didn't read' and you're accusing me of baiting

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Technically, I didn't read the post, but agreed with your title. Then all of your comments after I've accused of baiting, but yeah maybe the post was just to bait too.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Your intention is to rage bait. Otherwise what why comment to announce you're not going to honestly engage with this

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 16 hours ago

Like I said, I was agreeing with your title. Thought we were going to have an interesting conversation on AI generated rage bait. Here we are instead.
