My post about banning is in relation to the broader internet. It seems comment sections and social sites has been taken over by cowards who can't socialize in the real world with strangers, face to face, so people resort to living through the internet where they can suspend and ban people to control who can talk to them and never have to explain their positions or be challenged in what they think.
Or -- and I hope this sinks in one day -- it could be that using terms like "delusional" and "coward" to describe people you disagree with is a great way to convince people that you're not a jerk worth engaging with. Which is why they block you. Like I am now.
What would be your suggestion for addressing someone who makes a fictious or false statement and you point our the errors in their statement or belief?
