rule 7

Your actual belief is opposition to veganism

no. “skepticism”, maybe, but i’m not opposed to it.

they may feel that way, but I know what I’m saying is True

when i’m saying something factual, getting pushback indicates a level of cognitive dissonance that i find, personally, annoying.

frankly, I don’t care for debate at all. id rather you read what I say, understand it is true, and upvote.

we can suffiently ascertain the workings of an animal’s mind by observing their behavior when it comes to trying to avoid feeling pain

understanding pain does not require the understanding of the potential for mortality.

doesn’t mean they feel pain

can you link this?

I would not characterize my conduct as trolling. the restriction given by db0 to avoid going into liberal (or, implicitly, vegan) spaces and stirring the pot is one that didn’t honestly need to be voiced. I like to discuss particular topics, but I am respectful of the rules of communities.

but if, as this is the case, someone is spreading outdated information in a climate community, and I correct them, and they violate the rules of that community, and I report that community rule violation, that is not trolling as I see it.

edit: if my conduct is not acceptable, this implies correcting misinformation should be discouraged, as should reporting community or remote instance rule violations. that I should let misinformation go unchallenged, or accept abusive behavior for correcting it, or both. I don’t think that is the standard we should be setting.

so, one of us is mistaken about whether my conduct is acceptable. but which of us is it?
