Perhaps. Would you say the same about LiYang? I see him as someone who doesn't take well to criticism.
Either of them are fine with criticism. LiYang is a more narrow case. I enjoyed seeing him and Alice talk. LiYang often takes diversionary tactics, while TC is more prone to exhaust an argument and have people tap out (exasperation counts). However, TC is also at times quite willing to drift off-topic so you have to "hey, what were we arguing about?"
(Sometimes it's just a set up for a chance at refutation.)
LiYang might come into contact with more people via work, but I assume a lot of his antics here aren't things he does at-large. He's always said "fuck you sociopaths" when coming here, so this place is, like for many here, some weird refuge. Perhaps he'll gain better perspective in actual more and varied debates.
Subject matter limits engagement, and differentiates TC and LiYangs debate needs.
