Comment on Never give up
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 months agoIf you’re debating in good faith you are bettering yourself by improving your understanding of a different view point, and letting your own views be challenged so you can reassess if you still hold them.

So who debates in good faith and how often?

Apparently not you.

Well, this comment of yours doesn’t look like a good faith argument.
What I meant is that it takes two sides for one. And when two people are ready to argue in good faith, one may downgrade the level of contention from “argue” to “discuss” without any loss.
(For me and my sister it would still be argue, but we are just rude to each other.)

Neither did your comment of
Someone JAQing off is not having a good faith argument, and it does not invalidate my argument if I don’t waste effort on someone who isn’t continuing in good faith.
I see the argument you’re hinting at, and it doesn’t invalidate the argument either, but I’m not going to spend time debating an argument you haven’t bothered to actually make.
