Thing is i had a feeling that when he went private, he was not going to listen to anyone and just wanted to sulk and play victim. Such people are just full retard. Because he has come out of his self imposed fee fees blanket to proclaim any arguments against his objectively wrong take non valid. The only thing to be done with assholes like this is just call them all faggots over and over. There is no point trying to reason with him with convincing arguments in the halls of debate.
tl;dr for my post: gay rant about the Internet, specifically Twitter being gay
This is basically why Twitter (and most social media to be fair) debates are completely pointless and usually don't go anywhere actually productive. It's also why a lot of societal discourse is right in the gutter with many people becoming more and more closed off in terms of what they'll consider, especially if it may refute their current thoughts. Sure, you can make long tweet chains, but most people aren't giving a shit past the first tweet/240 characters; most people simply aren't clever (or informed) enough to make any serious point and thus strawmans and one liners rule the day.
When met with criticism it's way easier to simply block someone than actually engage with their ideas; this happens the most with political discussion since it's something that's held very near and dear to many. How often have you seen someone get criticized for a statement only to reply with
"Blocked!" as if it's some kind of victory? Probably countless times. You've assuredly seen people declare anyone who disagrees with them as
"Trolls" too, as if anyone telling them something that they don't like must be doing it to get a rise out of them or to just be an asshole. Actually if you look at a lot of Twitter bios you'll see them flat out state things like
"Trolls get blocked" or something like it which is usually blatantly code for
"People who disagree with me get blocked."
It's not much different than a child responding to something that they don't want to hear by sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling
"LALALALA NOT LISTENING! NOT LISTENING!" and calling you a
"Stupid meanie poo poo head" except that it's routine to see adults with fucking grandchildren acting this way, and it's routine to see young people who don't know shit do this only making it so that they close themselves off from growing as a person. It doesn't help either that these platforms curate things to remove certain opinions either thus validating (in the minds of many) the "correct" ones, but that's been discussed to death.
