Have you been drinking?

Let me correct you. How is dissent forbidden? In fact I have on occasion agreed with you and in fact in the other post recognised that I had got something wrong.

You don't have to be extreme to make a point, just lucid and factual.

If you make a clearly racist "joke", thats up to you, but don't be surprised if you get called out for it.

RA and I often disgaree actually, just that we manage to do that, either disappearing in a huff, or resorting to insults or when shown to be wrong, claiming "lived experience" without evidence to back it up.

If you can't make an argument based on facts and actual evidence, or your response is to make attacks on either the source, the spelling or the grammar, then that suggests you have no argument to make.
