The only surefire way I've ever seen to deal with these people is a decisive "No.".

There will be fallout and depending on how deep you're in, it will likely cost you something. But weathering the storm is the only way out at this point.

Capitulation does not work. Bending your principles does not work. Retreat does not work.

Unless you draw a line in the sand they will not stop until they get what they want from you before throwing you in the garbage and moving on like locusts. Do not back down or they'll drive you to the cliffs.

    That's a fair point.

    I just assume it's people blowing off steam in a friendly environment. In most corners of the net it's impossible to express criticism without being immediately deplatformed.

    I'd personally rather people vent than let their feelings build up and explode for lack of an outlet.
