Maybe, but I’m not sure that’s ever been this place. Whether a view deserves respect is, I think, on a continuum. Someone hangs a noose on a construction site, I don’t feel the need to show a ton of respect to their statement of their views. Someone lays out a case for why a specific approach to phonics instruction will result in superior teaching, even if I disagree, I’ll respect their views.
Similarly, how someone expresses themselves matters. I got in some arguments with folks about whether old depictions of monsters in D&D had racist undertones. Compare these two posts, both of which disagreed with me. The first was disagreeing that orcs, in a specific painting, were drawing on traditions of racist depictions of Black people.
The second is disagreeing with me that the person who wrote about orcs was doing so in a racist fashion:
Both posters disagreed with me. I corresponded at length and courteously with one of them. The other one I pitted. Can you guess which was which?
