        Agreed. But that’s different than cursing them. You can laugh someone out of the room by thoroughly attacking their arguments.

          Nope, they are two distinct categories of response. Laughing someone out of the room is refusing to engage them with words.

            No, that’s what most call “cancelling.”

            Laughing someone out of the room is pointing out the absurdity of someone’s arguments. Laughing at someone is just intolerance.
