"I’m trying to drive home the point that people can disagree with you without being stupid or nonsensical."

Sadly, the internet often makes that hard to believe. I do try to keep that thought to myself most of the time. Also sadly, more as a matter of politeness than the thought that I'll hear something that is not disingenuous or ridiculous (to my mind).

Quoting George Orwell, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them."

I'm in awe that the internet hasn't beaten your good faith in people with different viewpoints out of you.
