    There’s nothing more Reddit like than “I think what you mean / you should be saying” and a “this is such a Reddit moment” to boot lol

    We can agree to disagree. I was respectful. I didn’t say the person or their viewpoint was wrong - I just pointed out what I think is inaccurate in their comment. And, most importantly, I fully explained myself so that others could examine my argument and disagree with it. In retrospect, I should have used “cloaked” instead of “disguised” for connotative language’s sake. I’m trying to help Lemmy remain a place for respectful and accurate discourse, not bots, disinformation, and dunking on people (edit: censorship too)

      “Cloaking” a modicum of non-aggression as respect while still jumping the conclusion that someone is based solely on anecdotal evidence is not as helpful as you might think, but at least I appreciate the spirit

        Why are you being so litigious about this? I’m blocking you because you’re detracting from my Lemmy experience. I have a honours degree in psychology, I work in hospital research, I have 20 publications. I’ve tried to avoid saying “I can tell you two both don’t know much about [social] sciences” but refrained from that out of civility
