It is astonishing to me that, in explaining why “baselessly ascribing malicious intent” is bad you have, in fact, baselessly ascribed the malicious intent of sowing distrust and killing of discussion to the person you are responding to. Incredibly quick hypocrisy turn around there.
Arguably it doesn’t matter if its maliciousness or incompetence, the result is the same.
Ah, but you’re just saying that as a professional troll.
Now compare that to: I think you’re mistaken, intent matters, and I believe extending trust that both parties want to convey something, rather than just dismiss others, is necessary for a discussion, and also for a communal discourse.
If we’re just shouting into the void, no trust is needed, but for interactions and building a sense of community, we will need both trust and norms of collaboration.

Discourse is dead. It’s amazing that anyone who disagrees with you is labelled a troll.
