Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.
But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.
Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.
See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.
I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.
But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you're in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.
So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That's just bizarre.
You never asked me if I changed my belief. You decided I still hold it when you said, and I quote:
Then again, I'm not the Flying Squid expert here.
I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?
If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.
You tell me. I've never even met Flying Squid apparently.
WTF are you on about now?
All I'm doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don't like you. If you no longer hold that opinion, then great, that's growth. If you do, then I'm going to continue to refer to it as an example of your shitty takes.
You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn't ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn't ask.
An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.
Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don't, you don't actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don't.
It's fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.
Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?
If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?
Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.
This is another incorrect presumption of my intention. I have been true and honest in all my statements.
I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn't do that. As you said yourself, "All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you."
Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can't you accept that? Do you want me to say I'm perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don't think I'm any of those things, sorry.
Oh the irony.
That is not a reasonable expectation. You are not so special that it is an offense to reference your words without clearing it with you first. Your comments will always be taken at face value.
I do not understand the relevance of this statement. Please elaborate.
I do not understand. You have the ability to change your opinions. Why would you post bad ones, knowing they are bad? I cannot comprehend knowing that you are doing something wrong and choosing to do it anyway.
Please elaborate. I have not made any presumptions about you. My opinion of you is solely based on the information that you have posted.
You claimed you didn't give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.
When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn't true.
Your whole "I have been honest and open and truthful" thing is a bit undermined by two-faced comments like that.
But sure, asking questions isn't reasonable. We'll go with that.
I did not claim this. I thought it was quite clear that I thought your take was deplorable.
I did not state this. My rebuke of the "you hate me" thing was that you accused me of being dishonest.
You are either misinterpreting or willfully misrepresenting my words.
Frankly, you seem more interested in arguing with this strawman of me that you have created than actually engaging with my points and your intellectual dishonesty has become tiring and boring.
I hope you can one day realize that acknowledging that your opinions are bad does not absolve you of spreading them.
Oh, so you do hate me.
You just make it so irresistible!
If you feel that way, why not just block me? Then you'll never see me post again. I'm not forcing anyone to read my comments.
Block you and miss the drama? No thanks!
Okay, well your masochism is not my problem. If you enjoy being around people you hate, go for it.
I'll have the last word this time Squid!
Cool. We'll see how long it takes you to lose patience with your feigned civility and get your post deleted for insulting me?
Hahaha! I knew you'd respond, you can't help it, you have to have the last word, freakin sad bro.
I can show you many examples where other people have gotten the last word in conversation with me. But I fail to see why I should indulge someone challenging me not to.
Again, looking forward to you switching over to calling me a "shill" or a "dumb motherfucker." Things I have never called anyone, incidentally.
Oh were either of those comments to you? Do you not understand how to read a modlog?
I caught the ban for calling you out and linking to the thread where you refused to acknowledge that maybe having naked pictures of children on a phone might not be the best idea. Not for calling you a shill or a dumb motherfucker.
Now go away little Squid and go waste someone elses time, I look forward to reading the response I know you're going to type out to this comment cause that's your thing. You have to have the last word.
edit: a word
I still refuse to acknowledge it, and multiple other people in this very thread are calling the other person complaining about that a prude and saying I was quite reasonable.
So congratulations on that.
And here we are in a comment chain with multiple people talking about how you're a condescending dick and will never concede a single point but will double down and you're doing that exact thing. Thanks for responding exactly as everyone knew you would.
"So congratulations on that."
I learned it by watching you, dad.
