Not sure if this is a sincere question.
Manipulative and degrading rhetoric is what I‘m talking about. Bad faith arguments, assuming that someone arguing in a certain way must be naive or stupid, etc.

He didn’t seem very sincere tbh. Odd

Do you also get the feeling that this might be what we were talking about?

What you’re talking about is banning people across many instances at once. Please don’t do that to me.

The question is definitely meant to highlight that I think you may be exaggerating, but in that purpose it is sincere.

Sincere trolling you mean?

No. Sincere use of a rhetorical question to make a point. While also leaving the door open, via format, that you might actually be telling you the truth. I purposefully leave both those avenues open because I don’t try to control the direction a conversation will go.
