    itt: 100 billion lemmings see the phrase “i’m not going to debate you” and immediately take up arms and move to debate positions, so as to maximize the insufferability of the platform writ large

      Itt: the person saying “I’m not going to debate you” continues to respond.

      Also: “I’m not going to debate you” is not some magic phrase that prevents your statement from being challenged.

      In closing: I’m not going to debate you. So if you respond to this you’re a hypocrite.

        i don’t know how i could have possibly been clearer that i don’t want the disjointed ramblings of debatecreatures in my inbox, but i know things like “consent” might be a foreign concept to such folk

          “When I make statements on public forums that does not mean I consent to people responding to me!”

          I don’t think you understand how any of this works.

      Thinking you can say something and avoid it being challenged by adding shit like “anything you can argue against it doesn’t matter” is the insufferable thing on display here. Almost as insufferable as another person chiming in about how insufferable those who won’t just take that at face value are.

        “avoid it being challenged” dear lord. if only internet forum threads had some kind of button that would allow you to insert whatever half-baked disguised-as-a-policy-suggestion reaction one has directly into the thread. maybe then those that suffer the worst from Jubileebrain could utilize that to spew forth all their intellectual capabilities’ worth without doing themselves the disgrace of demanding dissidents put up their dukes

        but then it wouldn’t be lemmy now would it
