> allowing people who feel oppressed (whether they are or are not) to play in the "oppression olympics" by creating tangential opinionated discussions

Prior to your comment, nobody in this thread has said anything about any of this. This is all stuff that you seem to have read into things people have said that don't actually say anything of the sort.

Correct, hence the accusation of dishonesty.

You believe that an effective way to discuss things is to manufacture views that your interlocutors never expressed, and then consider it dishonest that they never expressed those views you manufactured for them?

I, for one, consider it very dishonest that you have yet to say a single word in this thread about your belief in leprechauns with pots of gold at the ends of rainbows. Why are you hiding your views? Just be honest!
