Oh, well if they got downvotes… Of course we can tell he’s a bad person, he disagreed with the hive mind.
If that's your defense of them, you haven't looked at their posts. I'm not stopping you. Go ahead! Do you still jump to their defense now? Is this person's interesting and insightful views being crushed under the boot of conformity or perhaps is it something else?
And we can tell that he was wrong in all those instances because he got downvoted.
If nearly every community you go to doesn't want you there, then its more than just a philosophical disagreement about the material being discussed.
Best to just fully disengage from anybody who disagrees with the hive mind, to be safe.
That's cute. There is zero obligation to interact with jerks simply because they disagree with you. Being open minded doesn't mean you have to consume their vitriol irrespective of how toxic it is or how abrasive the speaker is. The social contract requires each party to bring a certain amount of mutual respect. I didn't see them bringing it to those conversations.
