We have been there already. In this case my point is that you can reasonably claim "I am willing to talk to dissenters" EXCLUSIVE-OR "me blocking dissenters is not relevant". I don't really care which you do but you're doing both. That's an AND not an XOR.
My more specific point is that this behavior is highly undesirable to me and I want to discourage it.
I don't believe I could. It is the sincere part that is hard for me. Sincerity is a hard skill to master, at least at the higher levels of contradiction.
