Comment on Britain will rejoin the EU within 15 years, former Brussels chief predicts
rah@feddit.uk 1 month agofeigning ignorance of the subject matter
your comments do come off a little bit like that
LOL damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If one doesn’t understand what another person means, there’s no way to gain understanding except to ask them. That people interpret genuine attempts to enter into dialogue as feigning ignorance shows, to me at least, how astonishingly low the average level of communication ability is.
people often use it to dismiss any further discussion
Communication can be too difficult for some.

Well the other thing is that it’s very difficult to instantly tell from a pseudonymous internet comment whether the writer is a normal person up for a civilised discussion or a troll just looking to wind people up. And no offence, but you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!

I disagree. Very much unreasonable. Regardless, a suspicion should not dictate one’s behaviour. Suspicions should be tested and not just assumed correct.
And to be clear, I am pro-brexit.
