ShalomEveryone is a full of shit enemy of humanity, and I ask for them to be banned for perpetually sealioning, shilling, lying, and dragging down discussions (only the last is ban-worthy by site rules).

If he or similar trolls experience some enjoyment in getting a response from me or others, I could care less. My target audience in pointing out his behavior is not him. His own real views are as irrelevent as he is, but he is a symptom of a greater problem. There are similar trolls who basically do what he does on CNN, in the NYT, on reddit and countless other mainstream media outlets. They have the power to do real damage as their bullshit goes completely unchallenged and their own motivations remain hidden. The current state of America is the end result.

And yet here you are, engaging on my comment, a comment with virtually 0 engagement apart from you. You do care. You are here, with me, typing back and forth. You aren't communicating to an audience. You are comminicating with me and you know it. We are here together in this tiny little comment thread that barely another soul will see. This is why 'care more' is such a classic troll refrain. You are here, typing, you care. Regardless of what you say about intending to speak to someone besides me. If you really meant that, you wouldn't reply to me here. Please do, though! There is only one way I 'lose' here, and that door closed the moment you replied.

I understand your critique. In the long term, I can envision some possible futures in which you are actually entirely correct. I think the problem runs deeper though. The issue isn't that nobody challenges it. The issue is that there are invested entities that actively stifle our societal inclination and ability to challenge it. Their dominance would have to be contested before challenging trolls like SE would have any meaningful effect. I think you are putting the cart before the horse, so I'm not concerned with whether your analyais is correct or not. I would sooner hear an argument about how you think trolls like SE damage the quality of Saidit as a community.

Im of the opinion that a lot of people have blocked ShalomEveryone. I havent blocked him because I dont block anyone.
