I’m just telling you how it works generally in an online arguments. You’re free to post a whole book or a long video as an argument. It’s just that most people aren’t going to engage with that and it won’t work well to prove an argument to the other people. I’m sorry that it upsets you, it’s not my intention.

Oh wow I didn’t know I was being visited by his holiness the arbiter of how online arguments should and do work. And by holy decree you’ve asserted that it works however allows you to be the laziest, most bad faith and anti-intellectual.
Hallelujah.

I mean don’t take my word for it, see how internet arguments generally work out there in internet. If you come off with a different idea on how they generally work, then it’s an agree to disagree situation imo.
No need for these sort of outbursts. Against the rules too…

Delusional. You look. Who out there is using more strict citation rules than academic papers?
I stand by these words and add to them: Fuck you tone policing.

I wasn’t asking even for the same rules, just saying that even when there’s the expectation that your reader does academic work when reading you don’t put in a whole book.
It’s the rules. Take it up with mods of this sub and instance.
