Well, if your expectations are based on previous situations where you entered a discussion that wasn’t directed at you and you acted with a similar defensive aggression, I suppose I can see how you’d have predicted my reluctance to discuss anything with you.
Learn how to talk to people that you disagree with. It’s a very valuable life skill.
Oh forgive me for participating in a public conversation, I didn’t realize I hacked into your DM’s between you and that fellow. Thanks for moving the goal posts though. Maybe you should have just said that in your first reply.
You’re totally right though, I’m the defensive one. Your not displaying classic projection or anything of that sort. Yet you keep responding here despite STILL refusing to answer a single question that’s been asked of you.
Here’s what it felt like conversing with you thus far.
“You’re wrong.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re wrong, stop talking to meeeee!”
“Can I have some reasons why you think I’m wrong?”
“Because you’re wrong! What part didn’t you understand?!”
So if I refuse to fall for your debate trolling, I’m suddenly “moving goalposts,” and “displaying classic signs of projection”.
Toss in “virtue signaling” and we’ll have the trifecta of accusatory psychobabble- but I suppose your weird little fantasy conversation between us can be a place-holder for that.
Either way, no. You lost this one the moment you barged in with your own little “REEEEEEEEE!” when I wasn’t even talking to- or about you. I knew right away that it would be a wasted effort.
And there’s no crime in simply responding in defense to your accusations. Stop blindly accusing me of whatever you think will stick, and this discussion will be over.
Interesting, now you knew right away all sorts of things. And yet here you are still yapping away. So what does that mean, you’re some kinda masochist? Who is trolling who? All I asked of you was to tell me what assumptions I made in my analogy and you’ve exerted tremendous effort to not answer. And you keep bringing up that you weren’t talking to me. That’s not how this format of public discourse works. Are you new to public forums or something? Plenty of people jump in at various points in a thread and it creates many forks. I can draw you a diagram if that would help you.
No. I knew right away because It’s pretty easy to tell when someone barges into a discussion, aggressively defending themselves against accusations that weren’t even levied against them.
And by the way- I’m pretty sure “yapping away” isn’t a trait commonly known to be possessed by masochists. So, I’m not certain what this mess was about, but it does lend to my theory that you’re just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks.
Who is trolling who?
Considering that I told you some time ago that I’m not open to discuss this topic with you as I don’t believe you’re here in good faith and only want to argue, and you keep accusing me of things in order to continue arguing, I’d say you’re the troll here. I’m simply giving you the grounds to prove it.
you’ve exerted tremendous effort to not answer
It’s funny how you have taken note of this, but not the fact that I’ve told you several times that I don’t wish to discuss this with you because I don’t believe you to be here in good faith to discuss it. And yet- you continue to respond to antagonize and accuse- thus proving my point.
And you keep bringing up that you weren’t talking to me
That is probably because I wasn’t.
That’s not how this format of public discourse works
One would think that in the “format of public discourse” if one is asked to drop it because the other doesn’t wish to discuss it with them, that they would drop it. But here we are.
Plenty of people jump in at various points in a thread and it creates many forks.
And the fork you created is one in which you became immediately defensive and aggressively attacked a point I wasn’t even making with meritless pretend discussions. That’s childish rhetoric. I don’t debate against childish rhetoric. This will have to be okay with you.
I can draw you a diagram if that would help you.
It would. Your next response had better contain one or I will be disappointed. And make it pretty.
You expected me to bow out because you’re looking for an argument?
Weird.
I was expecting you to not answer a single question I asked earnestly with any detail or specificity.

But you are. You’re just not saying anything.

It’s up to you.
