Some of us engage those with differing views to refine their perspective... like me on this thread for example.
Frankly, I blocked you, because I felt no good would come from the discussion I was having. I found your continual dismissal of the points I was making frustrating to say the least, continually accusing me of cherry picking data, and since I wasn't likely to be polite about it, so as my mother taught me, if I have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
But no no, by all means, make assumptions about how telling it is of my character or whatever.
The tweet you're referring to where I apparently "continually accuse" you of cherry picking data is here for scrutiny (for context, I had posted a pic of poorly city-cleared sidewalks in response to your pic of poorly cleared resident-ones):
"We can both cherry-pick examples all day, but I think if everyone can agree that there's a spectrum ranging from inexpensive & uncaring on one side, to overly-expensive & inefficient on the other... we can work on finding a reasonable solution."
Note that:
1. I said "We" not "You".
2. I have not ever accused you of "cherry picking data" except for this one tweet above. I have no idea why you keep saying "continually". Once is not "continually".
3. My continual dismissal of your points? Pretty sure those italics are interchangeable.
