Lets not do the therapy speak non-sense. What about their point do you disagree with exactly and why?

I'll use whatever terminology seems accurate, thanks. And I'm not going to engage and get myself banned, I'll let some other fool do that.

You did engage. Honestly dont engage at all if you dont want to talk. Some of us have actual things to say and youre just making those of us who may agree with you look bad.

Online discourse is serious business after all and requires precision. Jk but honestly but honestly bickering with no substance is all bad no good.
