I like to engage with people of differing opinions! Why don't others elsewhere?

I'm being sincere when I say: why don't you create a board here explicitly encouraging (good faith) debate? Or convince like minded others to do so.

This is gunna sound shitty of me but I hate arguing with people because I suck at articulating my convictions.

(good faith) debate

That just leads to biased bannings of anyone arguing in "bad faith", defined strictly as anyone the mods don't like.

It could be defined in the rules, strictly following the debate pyramid or something. As long as the mod's aren't giving vague definitions of rules. I imagine it would require a great deal of oversight as it get bigger, though.

As long as the sub is eligible for /all, moderators cannot remove arguments posted in good faith. If they overstep their boundaries and decide that comments are "bad faith" when they aren't, they'll lose their ability to moderate.

Anyone can see the moderation log, and the ability to see the content of a removed comment from the modlog is something I requested recently.
