Again, we really need to drill down past vague words like "toxic". Quite honestly, I find your words in the subject message toxic, but I don't think your contributions should be censored for that reason.
Okay. Would you agree that if a person engages in discussion by stating their opinion over and over again, without ever considering in any meaningful way what the other people in the discussion are saying, that this would be toxic to the discussion, even if such as person were being superficially polite?
No, I wouldn't agree to that statement. If there were rules limiting
the amount of discussion that were flagrantly and repeatedly broken,
that would be a different matter.
Also, a question of whether someone considers in any meaningful way what
the other people are saying, is highly subjective. Especially if those
people won't really explain what they mean, and keep expecting others to
read their minds.
Hypothetically speaking, of course.
