Pfft, why should I take that guy seriously when he doesn't even have a blue checkmark?

I hope you're being ironic.

LuNY, there's a civil way to argue your perspective. You're making yourself out to be just as extreme as your perceived opposition. Just try to be reasonable and treat those with which you disagree with some respect and good faith.

He obviously just came here for some attention and an argument.

i also think he kinda knew what was coming, but damn sometimes the responses here are so angry and violent it doesnt really helps with engaging with a conversation.

Do you feel that the issue is the anger and intractability of the responses to the person who popped in here to announce that they are done with the band because Mike McCready put up a tweet? Or is it the other way around?

[VinylGuy]

i think its important, at least for one side, if we are talking about sides, to engage in a more polite way while also saying what their ideas or experiences are.

If not this is just grown people calling asshole or idiot to another while expecting to "win" a conversation.

Yes. It was an opportunity to talk sense and reason, instead it became more fuel for his opinions.

Yes, see the reason I asked is because it seems to me like the first response was trying to present an alternate worldview to him, and the response was yet more antagonistic aggression towards the existence of a people.

If you approach the subject with some compassion and a desire to truly understand (and perhaps even unbiasedly research) the human suffering behind a person who cannot stand being in their own skin and the elation they experience when they are released from it, and that hopefully kids who experience this suffering will have loving and understanding parents that care more about them than what the world cares about , then maybe you won't be so quick to judge is all.

Way too young to make that decision. I think that suffering may be mental illness in most cases, and also the push into pop culture which causes a warped sense of reality for very young people. Have you read about how many of these kids have autism that demand sex changes? How many fucking wacked out parents who are trans pushing it on their kids? Way too young, I have compassion for their future self regretting it, which has also been documented. I have no bias, I just feel how I feel which is how MOST PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT IT but are too afraid to speak up because of this far left bizzaro movement taking place, leave them kids alone.

The points he made are valid for debate. Instead of arguing the points, it became emotionally charged and attacks were ad hominem, which is a waste of time.

[JuanHamm]

This is all a waste of time. None of this is accomplishing anything.

We can use facts to learn something. That could help some of us.

Ironic this kicked up from a Mike tweet

[tree_]

Man, this is like if I started hating Bjork after she attacked that journalist. We all have lapses in judgement from time to time. The art is still the same. It's not a cult, it's music.

Man reading those replies to his tweet, i didn’t realize how many PJ fans would be anti-trans. Yikes

yeah, thats weird right? But i remember someone telling Morello not to do politics while he was playing music or something like that so i guess a lot of people really dont pay any kind of attention

[Ello Sailor]

It's those damn aging frat bros, I'm tellin' ya. Dumb as rocks.

you don't get to dictate the "politeness" of trans people, or deny our anger
