such as whether or not you should block people who disagree with you.

I don't think anyone was making the argument to block everyone who disagrees with you. If someone wants to do a social intrigue game in DND I'm going to think that's not the best tool for the job, but I'm not going to block them.

If someone's like "women shouldn't be allowed to vote" then that's a whole different kind of disagreement.

My point is that you can’t arrive at what is right without knowing what is wrong and you can’t know what is wrong if you block everyone who disagrees with you.

I don't know if that's true? I don't need to see every variation of racist argument to identify racism is bad. You don't need to know the full set of possibilities to pick a good one. Like, you probably have reasonable interactions with dogs on the street and never considered going on all fours and aggressively pissing and howling before.
