I was blocked after this conversation, could someone please help me understand why I was blocked and how I could have behaved differently to avoid this and have a better conversation?

@rastinza You couldn't have avoided it without having to research this topic beforehand yourself. Some people simply don't want to explain and just want to rant and have like-minded people just saying 'yeah, you're right' instead of a real discussion.

The moment they said 'I'm here to have a discussion...' is basically the point of no return and communication should've ceased if you didn't want to get blocked.

@trinsec
Thanks, I actually would have stopped talking there if she did not say she wanted to have a discussion...
I imagined she was interested in that

I'll have to get better at understanding these cues, but it's particularly difficult on the internet, without knowing whom you're talking to

@rastinza I get what you mean. But for them a discussion doesn't mean explaining the concepts to you. It's kind of subjective, I agree.

Best is to just accept that you'll get blocked easily if you're very inquisitive. Not everybody appreciate a person actually trying to understand everything by constantly asking for clarifications.
