      Ok, random internet stranger, i won’t use that term because you so eloquently stated why it’s not good to do so…

          Please refrain from censoring other people just because you like to. I just don’t like it, OK?

            The reason I don’t like it is because its infantile. Fox News hosts use the term all the time to dismiss quite true statements about whomever they’re defending because they’re talking to stupid people who need to have things dumbed down in order to understand them.

              We aren’t on Fox news here. Your concern trolling is also a nothingburger

                its not concern, and im not trolling. I politely asked someone who isnt you to not use a certain term. I didnt expect a response. several people including yourself have chimed in calling it censorship and trolling
