    I do not care to argue with you like this. I come here to hang out with digital neighbors, not to have some angry debate. I get nothing out of this, and for a disabled guy in social isolation, these have a disproportionate negative impact. On my original LW account I just blocked everyone that argues or down votes as such toxic negativity is unwelcome, unnecessary, and mildly harmful to everyone. Perhaps stating the effects plainly will have different results. The trials of physical disability may include a much reduced margin for adversarial encounters and contention. It is a subtle prejudice that is impossible to avoid.

    I disagree with you, but this is fine, and I still respect you as a human. I do not wish to pick apart a dichotomy when dichotomous logic is always insufficient to define reality. I want to argue, but must stop to avoid a spiral. Have a great day.

      I don’t think we’re engaging in an angry argument? At least, I’m not upset. I think I’m just rebutting some of your claims and asking for clarification?

      I get nothing out of this, and for a disabled guy in social isolation, these have a disproportionate negative impact. On my original LW account I just blocked everyone that argues or down votes as such toxic negativity is unwelcome, unnecessary, and mildly harmful to everyone.

      So anyone who disagrees with you is being negative or harmful? I don’t really see how being disabled gives you the right to make inarguable inflammatory claims in a public forum.

      You may want to talk to someone about that, but In my experience any prejudice you are self aware of are prejudices that can be avoided.

      Have a great day.

      You too.
