This is the end of discourse on Poal.

I could let it slide on individual subs, but this is too far; ideas gone unmolested is the promotion of cancer... I suppose that I will have to find a new home.

EDIT: I propose the following solution.

Instead of outright blocking individual users, their replies and conversations are INSTEAD automatically collapsed so that their speech is not infringed upon by allowing the choice to see it, and that those blocking them don't have to see it if they choose not to.

See for petition to change it.

Ignorance only manifests by a lack of contrary ideas. If a user has that ability to block those ideas, then I can indeed blame it on them.

Survival of the fittest is the basis of evolution which created dominant species by greater makeup, thus survival of ideas is the very same: this is the law of nature. Without the ability to contest ideas, detrimental thought is allowed to become pervasive. Multiply this precedent over time, and Poal becomes a place where only ignorance reigns (yet another reddit).

Anyone paying attention to my words knows that they are the truth and only the truth. If you disagree with them, it is not a reflection of myself.

"They are only the truth as you see fit!"

Then they can openly disagree and provide a greater truth; I am always open to listen and to change my own mind. Nobody attacks my truths with as much vigor as I do to myself. The one thing that I refuse to become in this world is that which both believed a lie and allowed it to persist; who wants to be wrong?

The pursuit of the truth is a lifetime of question. The pursuit of the lie is not to question at all or to allow question.

You want people to think like you. That's not gonna happen.

I don't care if they do, but they deserve to hear it, like I deserve to hear them too.

Do you follow strangers in a public space and then non-stop talking to them interrupting everyone else while they are having a conversation with other people because you didn't like what they said? Sounds like Antifa shit to me.
