Lmao nah, this is an online shitposting website.

I'm well aware of that fact and that is why I love this place. It's great at keeping my morale up and reading dunks on pretentious idiots is always a fun activity but I guess dunking myself was never something I was particularly good at. You and UlyssesT are shining examples of what good dunks are, containing useful information I can learn from. The crowd as you were mentioning.

You do not owe anyone a discussion or respect, most certainly not someone who clearly signals they’re not interested in giving one themselves.

That is correct, I have nothing else to add except one thing; I like to take initative and give a respectful discussion a singular try at maximum to see how it goes, if others in the comment section haven't tried that themselves. If I feel like I can exploit it, I will and will use it to possibly practice educating. Even if this place possibly isn't the best one to do so it's one that I can easily do so in. Otherwise :PIGPOOPBALLS:

Trying even for the sake of probing isn't be a bad idea and probably isn't too much to ask for I guess.

This website can be used in better ways as I've said, but what this website is for you is up to you. I'd just like to see that others engage in either something what I'm doing or at least in dunks of UlyssesT's quality. Rather than just posting :smuglord: and nothing else. An insult should be a spice not the main course, add even the tiniest bit of information to it and it's already miles better. A singular :smuglord: only works when nothing can be added.

As examples: Bad dunk and Good dunk

A forum also functions much differently than a dialogue, since there is an argument. You are not trying to convince an individual, but a crowd. Mockery and derision are good tools for this.

Yeah, It seems I forget this too often... Still newcomers could get attracted with a bit friendliness visible in the wild? I guess?

If whatever I do is a terrible way to practice I'll have to concede, but I've yet to see to that.

I agree, but I also think newcomers get attracted to a place that doesn't treat people with reverence they do not deserve. I disagree on "good v bad dunks" because I think one larger post supported by a bunch of drive-by horsepoo-theory does a lot of good, and it allows people to be more active posters, since they do not have to constantly lend effort to people unwilling to learn.
In my personal experience, heterodox opinions get met amicably here, as long as they themselves act amicable, though of course there's thousands of users on this site, so some will be... too much, too hostile or whatever.

If whatever I do is a terrible way to practice I'll have to concede, but I've yet to see to that.

I don't think it's bad practice, I think it's good you met the user where they were at and conversed with them. I just also think it was good that the user was met with mockery and derision. I think both can be good.
