I’m not pretending I have some moral high ground here. However, doing hand wringing about decorum while ignoring the fact that wampus here is trying to dismiss a study on Canada’s role in colonialism is focusing entirely on the wrong thing.
A sharp dismissal of absurdity draws a clear line, shows others they don’t have to entertain every bad argument, and prevents the conversation from being derailed. If you want to spend your life debating trolls then go ahead and do that.

I’d feel much more sympathetic to that response if you hadn’t been such an asshole in this thread.
