Also, downvoting someone into oblivion is PRACTICALLY THE SAME (from your perspective) AS "MUTING" THEM.
You're basically trying to "erase" them.
You're not changing their minds.
You're not challenging your own preconceptions.
YOU'RE JUST "MUTING" THEM FOR "EVERYONE" AND NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF.
YOU'RE DECIDING (for me) WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT SEE.
I just like to zero out their post to prove a point that if they are using hive to talk shit, they will get shit on.
In other words, school-yard-style, MOBSTER ETHICS.
I'd call that human nature.
Awesome.
Most people only implicitly subscribe to MOBSTER ETHICS.
Those same people often convince themselves they are "unbiased" and "reasonable" (usually with religion).
It's actually nice to find someone who isn't afraid to say "might makes right".
I enjoyed our discussions today.
This is where I usually wonder if I am an anarchocapitalist or not.
I believe in survival of the fittest, and that means economically too, so that's where my ethics usually stray from the conservative pack, I don't have a God or a oath like them.
I appreciate your civility.
I only identify as a LOGICZOMBIE.
I identify as a sovereign individual having my freedoms raped 24/7 365 on earth.
