It’s not my place to make suggestions on how you raise them.

It really isn't. Wind your neck in. You are an anti vaxxer. You have no place to talk about parents

He said he's blocked me and, frankly, that's fine. It's not worth engaging with people who aren't interested in having a genuine discussion. I've said for a while that I think he's trolling, and responses like that only reinforce that impression.

I'd much rather engage with people who are willing to consider different viewpoints, even if they ultimately disagree with me. That's how constructive debate works. If everyone simply dismisses opposing views, you end up with little more than groupthink.

I also think it's rather childish to block someone and label them a bigot when there's nothing inherently bigoted about what they've said. I've repeatedly argued that we need a sensible, robust debate about issues relating to transgender people. Too often, though, people like Baleforce seem more interested in Ad hominem attacks and shutting down the discussion and claiming the moral high ground than engaging with the substance of the argument.

I think you and Baleforce are both good posters. It's a highly emotional debate these days and I'm trying to learn to hear others more and allow debate to happen. Except with outright racists who hate me, like Rob and Gazza.

Go back a page and read why he “blocked” me.

It looks like he posted his truths and you belittled it?

Lay out some examples of the 'common sense laws' and he may have engaged?

I’ve not told anyone whether or not they should vaccinate their children.
