> A good discussion is about the subject, not the person.

That's the problem with trolls. They keep on pestering people with trivially-to-google questions, a tactic known as "sealioning" [1]. On top of that you have literal ChatGPT or otherwise AI-powered bots engaging in discussions in bad faith.

It's pretty pointless to debate with fascists, most of those that you can find on Twitter aren't interested in discussion - they're interested in destroying discussion by forcing others to interact with their bullshit.
