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

              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.
