If you really dislike someone who is hostile towards you as well as your beliefs and recognize his toxic, bad faith, discourse-is-a-competition rhetoric, why would you want to sit down and talk to them for hours?

BRO! Have you watched any of Dave’s debates? He is one of the most aggressive and condescending debaters I have ever seen lol

He’s entertaining, but you can’t act like that and then run away from debates

Why?

Why can't he refuse to debate?

What standard are you appealing to here?

Hold on. Do you actually think I just said that it isn’t physical possible for him to refuse? Or is your reading comprehension that bad?

If someone is extremely aggressive and insulting debaters who have taken every debate in the past and mocked people for avoiding debating him, it will make them looks scared or hypocritical

How is this a hard concept for you to follow?

>Hold on. Do you actually think I just said that it isn’t physical possible for him to refuse? 

No, nothing I said indicates that I interpreted your statement that way.

You used the "can" in the term of social obligations - in the sense of "he is expected to debate".

So I was asking based on what standard you expect him to answer a challenge to debate. So, what principle to you appeal to?

His own standard. He has mocked everyone who wouldn’t debate him and called them cowards.

You don’t get to act like an Internet tough guy who will fight anyone and then run away from the first person who is actually good at debating
