There is a limit to tolerance and patience though. If they ask for answers and we give them answers, and they respond with “I don’t like those answers, give me answers that agree with my preconceived notions.” over and over and over again, there’s not really anything we can do. This isn’t a person actually seeking answers, this is a bad faith actor trying to wreck shit by “just asking questions.”
Yeah, if someone wants to take the time to talk with them over DMs and patiently take them at face value, I’m not gonna claim it won’t be productive. But we do not have to tolerate that kind of dogmatic ignorance on the public boards.
