    Genuinely, I’m also disappointed that @Mastengwe@lemm.ee deleted their comments. But not for the reason you might think.

    I have enormous respect for the argument they were presenting. It wasn’t one that I entirely agreed with, but it was coming from a good place, and honestly it helped me refine my own view and I ended up in a place that’s probably better than where I started. From memory, their tone might have been a little more argumentative than strictly necessary, but that’s hardly the worst thing in the world.

      Thank you for your words. I wasn’t trying to be argumentative at all, but what I was getting were what I believe to be excuses why it’s someone else’s problem.

      And the mere idea of people downvoting me (I know they’re worthless internet points, but it’s the idea that it’s an unpopular opinion)- because I suggested someone maybe do something to pressure India into stopping or at least reducing this led me to think that leaving the discussion was the healthier of choices.
