    Calm down, there isn’t a prize at the end; there is no winner or loser. We’re just having a discussion. Breathe.

    You started this off claiming that this person is equivalent to an antivaxxer. You’ve repeatedly dismissed their claims/thoughts based on credentialism without demonstrating why. Now you’re telling them to calm down. I’m not even the person you’re arguing with here and I’m getting mad lol.

      They are using the same playbook as antivaxxers. There’s no way around the comparison. It wasn’t meant as an insult, but as an observation. Notice they didn’t correct me, but instead indicated that it hurt their feelings.

      I’m not arguing with anyone; they have not yet made a point that required more than a factual correction, or a point that was just a conspiracy theory.

      You definitely shouldn’t get mad about it though, haha.
