I'm not seeing this so-called 'narrative toeing'. Perhaps when you see it next you can add my username to your arguments.

Narrative-toeing is not something that you can show in a single example, its a pattern, and something separate from his bad faith arguing.

What I mean by a narrative-toer is anyone who buys into any ideology wholesale and never has a diverging opinion. A person like this may as well be a robot if their stances are predictable with 100% accuracy, and are not capable of giving due consideration to other opinions. Site's opinions seem to be 100% in line with the DNC/Liberal Media consensus, 100% of the time, and is not engaging in open-minded dialog. Although again, this is a separate issue from his tactics of consistently bad faith arguing. I am simply wondering why one would be on an alt-reddit when one's opinions toe the line of the mainstream so closely.

You may have answered your own rhetorical question: because the majority is the so-called mainstream, and they do visit Saidit on occasion, God forbid.

Thus I don't think he argues in bad faith. You know something about where he gets his opinions. Saiditors are the odd ones with the minity opinions.

That leaves an important point that you've made: is he open minded? I don't know, but I'd argue that there are many Saiditors who are not.

The reason I want to support him and why he's not a threat to anyone here is that he has a different opinion to that of the hivemind here and can thus keep discussions or arguments going, even if he annoys users. We can handle it, I would hope.

I can deal with people having any opinions. It's the way he conducts his arguments that bothers me
