[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4788051, member: 63706"] That was just what I gathered from the articles I read explaining Poe's Law. It does seem to me that the thinking behind Poe's law encourages that sort of thought superiority by which people use their perceived superiority as the sole basis for mocking ideas that are different than ones they believe. It's judgmental at its core, to declare something as absurd rather than to say you find something absurd. Stating opinion as fact, that is a big problem today, many people don't understand the distinction, or why it's important. In a way, you could say Poe's Law is driving cancel culture. Sorry, not trying to beat a dead horse, this idea has pretty wide ranging implications, and I'm just trying to wrap my mind around it. [/QUOTE]
