Definitely understand that perspective, but I’d say it doesn’t really apply in a context like this; you can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t use reason to reach in the first place. They didn’t come here intending any level of intellectual honesty, they were just here to abuse a disabled comrade, so even if there was study they’d only read it to find reasons to invalidate it. I definitely agree that if they intended to learn and better themselves it would be a dick move, but that wasn’t the case here.
I fully agree. Though I think that doing a rug pull on asking someone to read and learn and, well, better themselves isn’t really funny or good.
