“No investigation, no right to speak” is an extremely easy bar to clear and a very easy thing to learn when you’re entering any space you’re not familiar with or held by a cultural or other group you are not a member of.
Don’t talk over people if you don’t know what you’re talking about. You obviously don’t have to know everything. If you don’t know you listen before you talk.
That’s assuming I have no familiarity with a group that exists in a public space and recently made a big showing on my own instance.
It’s not possible to talk over someone in a back and forth medium such as this. Even then I’ve endeavored to be respectful. I’ve failed in places, sure. I’m human. But the attempt isn’t meaningless.
Just because you haven’t seen me before doesn’t mean I haven’t looked before saying anything. Seems like there’s an interesting reversal in there somewhere.
Is that take really, “if you don’t know everything don’t say anything”?
