good morning!
/holds up coffee
1.observation is not argument.
it can be part of an argument,but that's not what I was doing.
not really sure why you even make this a point of contention,and I don't really care.
it is wrong,and kinda silly.
example: the sky is blue <------ observation.not an argument
2."no one" (ok,this is a nit pick,but do try to keep your identifying pronouns straight) it was YOU.so the proper should have been "i",not "no one".(I know I know.nitpicking).
3.now here is where your arrogance comes into it's full,and spectacular glory.
seriously,this is some impressive narcissism.
you triple down on your "challenge" claims,and say that you *cough* I mean "no one" flippantly dismissed anything.as if there isn't a record.there is your comment literally right above where we can read " I think you're seeing cult of personality that doesn't exist anywhere but in your own mind"
how completely bubble wrapped do you need to be to not see that as anything but flippant? but in YOUR mind,this is a challenge?
how? I am asking seriously,because that is in NO way a challenge,by any stretch of the imagination.
you could have asked my how I came to that conclusion,or my thought process,and we could have hashed it out.walked away with a better understanding.
but no..
you just called me delusional,wrote it up as a "challenge" (hint:it is not)
omg..i cant stop laughing...this is just so absurd.
wasn't it you that claimed that you "simply wish to raise the level of discourse"?
/looks at your comments.
lol..yeah dude...I don't think you understand what discourse actually entails.
4.offended and grow a thicker skin.
this only works if I was
a.offended
b.thin skinned and tender
of which I am neither.
I matched tone for tone.
your entire response simply re-affirmed my point.
and let me just end with some unsolicited advice.
you claim your goal is to not condemn,and to raise the level of discourse.
ok..that is worthy goal.
but your comments contradict your stated goals.
you could have asked why I thought the way I did.
instead you insulted me.
you could have apologized for your comment,and according to your own assumptions,i was offended.a civil discourse would have dictated at least an apology.
but you suggested growing a thicker skin.
conclusion:arrogant,presumptuous and lacking in principle.
and a fake ass wanna-be,psuedo-intellectual that can't even adhere to his own stated goals.
