I see your point, but I think this is seriously undermined when you have someone like OP who is willing to post all day about this, and occasionally willing to dip their toes into trying to raise real points, but then throws up their hands and says "hey it's just a ~~joke~~ meme" whenever they're in a tough spot.
Eh, IMO it was more like they attempted to engage in response, and then tapped out when it went over their head. Or maybe they just got busy IRL.
It doesn't seem good to me to try and rationalize shitty behavior just because of a reason someone might deserve it.
Also tho, if you wanna call them a lib and consider them officially dunked, you don't need a certain response from them for it to work, you can just decide that.
Looks like they've been posting pretty hard in this thread for at least 6-7 hours, often multiple paragraphs at a time.
It's not shitty behavior to make a political response to a political meme, or to point out when someone isn't having a good faith conversation.
Remember, I'm replying to 12 people here. Y'all are replying to just me.
Yes, but I'm not taking issue with just making political responses or pointing out bad-faith conversations. I'm taking issue with attempts to force/coerce engagement in a debate/discussion when someone doesn't want to or is otherwise unprepared for debate/discussion.
I'm not trying to say any of this in the interest of proving anyone wrong or right or whatever. I would just like to see less of that behavior.
