I fucked with the title a bit. What i linked to was actually a mastodon post linking to an actual thing. but in my defense, i found it because cory doctorow boosted it, so, in a way, i am providing the original source here.

please argue. please do not remove.

    You think you’re entitled to the fruits of others’ labor.

    this isn’t what I said. it’s a straw man.

      My guy, you think you can just write off everyone’s argument by just assigning it some words you read on Wikipedia.

      It’s literally exactly what you said. You’re moving the goal posts.

          Oh okay so now you’re just appealing to authority?

              this response also reads like an appeal to ridicule. if you can’t explain what’s wrong with my position, maybe you shouldn’t be speaking about my position.
