Oh wait!

Don’t be a jerk.

Rational is discussing what can be done to improve things. Rational is not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Rational is not automatic ad hominem attacks on those who’s opinions are different.

But that’s just my opinion, isn’t it. Good thing you’ve appointed me judge!


Instead it feels like a person on a rant, who will not allow anyone to disagree with them charitably in the first place. New posts since then has not changed my appraisal on the situation. Is this thread in good faith, maybe but appearance wise it does not look like it.

Physician heal thyself!


The abject hypocrisy of you talking about rants, charity, and allowing disagreement would be laughable if your own lack of self-awareness wasn’t so sad.


Entering a conversation with a long rant, and starting the rant saying I was trying to piss people off, but they actually liked me, and now I am bringing that space to a new space.

And I do not know the 2nd person who he gave a backhand compliment to.

And then stating you must agree with all my logic.

———

That shit is inherently suspect! The Mookie he protests too much I think with his play inside a play which he is trying to expand outwards.

I provide evidence that challenge his premise (does not negate it, merely troubling it) and then Mookie did not engage with the argument at all mere just did a queer insult. So I called it out.

Tolerance is not infinite, respectability is not infinite. Some men enter a place trying to start trouble.
