Antipolemist

/ˌæntɪˈpɒləmɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who opposes or argues against polemics and controversial debate; someone who advocates peaceful discourse over argumentation.

Etymology

From 'anti-' (against) plus 'polemist' (one who engages in polemic). This rare term describes someone whose philosophy rejects combative debate.

Kelly Says

An antipolemist would be the opposite of a twitter warrior—they believe that understanding happens through dialogue rather than winning arguments!
