I disagree strongly with TFC's (general) view on the TikTok bill.

But you know what? Reasonable people can disagree!

And they can do so without intentionally misrepresenting the views on the other side.

Of course, some people have decided to take a very different approach to disagreeing, instead opting for using ambiguous language intended to distort the opinions of the opposing "side."

We need one of those social justice yard signs but change the text to something like:

"In this house, we believe in steel-manning the arguments of those we disagree with, in order to sharpen our thinking, and make better arguments in the future."
