Are you misinterpreting my post? These are not arguments said by me -- these are arguments that come from bad-faith actors

If that truly is the case, I guess I did. My bad. But considering you said it was a bad opinion you saw, and not someone else saying that opinion was bad, you should maybe reword your post or re-read mine because I disagree that one argument is a bad opinion.

Oh wow, haven't heard this one before a million times from bigots and their defenders. Thanks for the contribution, Dr. Phil. Now go fuck yourself. Reported.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Two misunderstandings, but your first instinct is to tell me to go fuck myself and report my comment. Now it's hard to tell you're actually being genuine about this argument not being your own. You're not going to change minds by being a cunt and just having them removed. You clearly do not care about changing opinions; just protecting your own.

I mean, swap out the implied "protecting your own (opinion)" with "protecting your own (place on the Internet where we can live largely free from well-meaning but ignorant people, actual bigots, and sea lions)" and I do think that was OP's point, yes.

That's valid; but that's not going to change people's minds which is exactly what the original statement was talking about. If you're actually going to engage in a discussion with these people, hostility won't help. Just block them, and if they are violating the rules of the community/instance, report them. You're just wasting energy if the only thing you're going to engage with is name-calling; even if it is warranted.
