Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    It’s not that I particularly want to dismiss you… I mainly just don’t want to engage. I am constantly having to explain myself and get pulled into arguments I never wanted, because it is so unpopular. It took me too long to learn that I don’t owe you or anyone else a fight.

    However you were also very rude to Cl1nk. Clearly you are not a user who engages in good faith, so yes, I am going to dismiss you - just as readily as you demanded my time.

    But before I go: the dolphins are fucked. Anyone trying to specifically save them is myopic beyond the point of helpfulness.

      My message was to someone else. I’m guessing it was deleted or something, I don’t know. I’m very new here. I can see why it would appear rude, so if it matters I’m sorry about that. I’m not sure how I am engaging without good faith… that would imply I’m not interested in considering someone else might be right and I might be wrong. I consider that every time I engage someone in conversation.

      As you said, you didn’t have to engage, and so for your answer I am grateful. Have a good day, and for what its worth I hope more people start personally finding the planet to be their calling. It’s a good one.
