You realise it’s comments from people like YOU that would be reported for harassment, right? We are seeing the dawn of an age where seeing anyone disagree with you is “harassment”. YOU have disproven many talking points, written respectfully, and provided linked evidence. For that, YOU would be reported for harassment.

Go ahead, just try and write an opposing view on any anti-vaxx/anti-gamer/Birther forum, and see just how fast they block/ban you; not for breaking any rule, but because you had the disgusting temerity to say “Actually, that’s wrong, and here’s proof…” Or sit there, wrapped in your Blanket of Good Intentions, and keep repeating “No, this would never be misused. People just wouldn’t do that. When presented with evidence, people change their minds. I’m sure they do. I see it all the time… haven’t I?”

“We are less racist, sexist, and homophobic than we’ve ever been, but we do have one continuing problem: we don’t want to be around anyone who disagrees with us. More than ever before.” - Bill Clinton
