    Kind of the fun of talking with people is finding out where you’re wrong. I’ll often say something I suspect is wrong in the hopes that someone will show me the light…

    It got harder to do that on reddit, where if one toe was out of line, you were treated as a bad actor. And, partially, I get it. In large groups, there are more trolls and people’s patience is thinner. On the other hand, mob mentality is real…

      To be fair saying something you think is wrong just in the hopes of being proven wrong is the text book definition of a bad actor.

        Yeah, it would be, so I don’t say things I think are wrong, I say things that I SUSPECT are wrong. That is to say, I think they also might be right.
