Let me get this straight: if you write 1,5000-word back-and-forths, that's a real debate, but if you write 5,000-word back-and-forths, then that's "endless wordwalls," "a rhetorical trick," and "not taking the conversation seriously?"

That’s avoiding debate. Resorting to endless wordwalls instead. That’s a rhetorical trick. Not taking the conversation seriously. Everyone knows this. So it will simply be the story of you from now on.

If you take seriously debate as a search for truth, then it makes no sense to prefer verbal arenas of uncheckable rhetoric or gigantic wordwalls no one will read. Let's do 1100 word entries, as many as needed. With time to fact-check our responses. So people get a tight, concise, brief convo to vet.

#WordWalls vs. #StructuredVisuals: We love them both, but they're not the same. #VisualNonGlossary creator @StFleenor.bksy.social explains.

I trust anyone who compares your claims with what I actually said will be able to tell who is screwing up. So I'm not going to chase rambling wordwalls. But to see just one example of how just one of your arguments messes up, see my comments beginning at:

An amazing educator, working hard to meet the needs of her kids, trying out a new strategy. A word wall centered around an essential question. Language. Content. In service of each other. Coaching is forever my favorite! #CoachingMatters
