              For example, all extremists resort to pretty insults when their attempts to derail the conversation fail. They also attempt to brigade anyone they don’t agree with into silence but downvotes on Lemmy are completely impotent and leave the extremists flailing pathetically. Extremists are extremists. They have different causes and hate different people but their behaviours are very, very similar and they are very easy to spot.

                  More childish insults. Don’t forget the impotent downvote. That’s really the icing on the flail.

                  My point was that some opening positions were not worthy of negotiation. The commenter tried to derail the conversion by being pedantic about different types of extremists not being the same. I didn’t bite so he and his limp noodle brigade started downvoting and insulting me. I’m not a weak minded tool so I stayed on message and simply taunted them, as I am now doing you, for being utterly ineffective and impotent.

                  Be better.
