This is a real important point. I use this rhetorical tactic all day, every day. IRL it works fine. On the intewebs it rarely works. To play that broken record... chatting on the interwebs is distinctly and fundamentally different than chatting IRL.
To bring this back onto the OSJer/SJWer topic, and to again repeat myself, OSJers 'angel shoot' this chat -vs- meta-chat distinction all day, every day. Although, I'm convinced the rank-n-file OSJers don't consciously realize this.
The OSJers are like white in chess, they always move first. Their standard opening is to scuttle the prior conversation, by going up a meta-level and whining about the
Run Amuk PC Police, and then dropping an anecdotal story. However, if anyone else (it don't have to be someone they've labelled a SJWer) engages on that meta-level, they'll universally and incoherently drop back down a meta-level, and start spewing about the alleged details of their anecdotal story.
