@gamingonlinux To be fair, you also did not help with your smug reaction of "you're wrong, but I can't be arsed to explain why".

I would have blocked you too in their place.

@ticho it wasn’t smug at all, it was a completely stupid comparison

Vittelius

@gamingonlinux @ticho of course it was. But the two aren't mutually exclusive. She was confidently wrong, and you made clear, that you weren't interested in a constructive exchange. So she blocked you, which is kind of expected twitter behaviour.

@Vittelius @ticho again, there was nothing "smug" about it, it's not smugness to point out a comparison is terrible

@gamingonlinux @Vittelius If you're making an argument on a public forum, you're making it not only for the person you're replying to, but also for whomever else will be reading the conversation.

Therefore you should always say not just "you're wrong", but "you're wrong because ...".

If you do not support your argument, you might as well as post "Nuh-uh!", and the quality of the discussion would be the same.

If you could spell it out for us here, why not in your original reply on twitter?

@gamingonlinux @ticho from my standpoint — neither of you wanted constructive conversation. Both of you just released your frustration there. You ended the conversation by refusing to elaborate, she ended by blocking you. I say this is a win-win situation
