Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them?

So, your argument is that

explanation = approval

? That pathetically superficial take pretty much amounts to media illiteracy[^media-illiteracy]: see fallacy Confusing an Explanation with an Excuse.

Can anyone factually explain atrocities in your presence without you treating any explanation as a defense even when it’s explicitly stated that the explained subject is immoral?

They answered the question & your not liking the answer doesn’t make it less true. There are better ways to deal with facts than insufferable irrationality.

>> more than anything they conflate Presenting Something with Agreeing With Something, but don’t apply it to good guy/bad guy narratives. when everyone’s bad they short circuit
