Counter-point, it's well documented that narcissistic people weaponize these avenues (jokes, pranks, memes, sarcasm) to emotionally manipulate and distort conversations about what is permissible.

I think that satire is an important part of public discourse and should always be allowed but you should also expect and welcome critism.

    Wow that is genuinely the most disturbing and off putting thing I've seen in a while.

    instructions unclear, though we were shaking hands, we're friends now.

    Now as friends, may I ask why, considering your name, you decided to go for paper and not rock?

    Dearest Albert,

    You are cordially invited to disagree with me publically, wherein we shall 'have it out', at a time and place of your choosing.

    Honor, and decorum, shall be upheld at all times, as the intention of this duel is to illustrate that disagreement need not be derogatory and defamatory, but can be dutiful, dilligent, and demonstrative of respect despite disagreement.

    Yours truly, sp3ctr4l.

    PS:

    =P

    Dearest Sp3ct4l.

    I gladly accept your most welcome invitation. for convenience, would it be acceptable to continue said public exchange in this venue.

    After reading your kind letter, with heavy heart, I feel the obliged to state that have I noticed that I disagree with one of your points. this doesn't diminish my view of you as a person. But given the pieces of media that catalyzed our exchange, perhaps the point is that while a polite an honorable exchange is possible and welcomed. So would an inflammatory and derogatory exchange, which could use the full spectrum of emotionally charged language.

    Your's dearly,

    Albert

    For the audience: I hope other witnesses chime in and become long term friends of ours.

    Dearest Albert,

    In light of your response, I have enclosed the following petition.

    Open Me!

    Sincerely, sp3ctr4l

    To my dearest Sp3ctr4l.

    There aren't enough words in the English dictionary to properly describe the joy I received when opening your latest later. The amusing charicature has filled my heart with the whinsiest of joys. Despite the insurmountable distance between us, your kindness and sense of humor transcends everything single of those miles dividing us. It is perhaps the fashion of our time or perhaps sending so called genetic memories is indeed an excellent mode of communication. Regardless of the proper answer, I will engage. If only to kindle the hope that my attempt at reciprocating the whimsy you gifted me.

    With all my heart:

    Albert

    Ah, my favorite hobby.

    Ideally, the fights themselves are funny.
