I do stand by it.

Then do so, don't try and equivocate.

But it's not an interesting discussion for me to just go back and forth on a definition.

We were not arguing about definitions.

I'm trying to understand if we can agree on basic facts.

Sure, but don't expect me to honor a double standard.

I have no idea what you're on about or why I've humored you for so long. Have a good life.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre

It's exactly the same for anticommunists.

For transparency of the record, the Lemmygrad mod log states “troll” as the official reason for the ban.

Petition to change it to debate pervert
