You. Started. This.
Right here.
I made a sincere comment, expressing why I am withholding my vote, you shat all over it. I got upset. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Is this what you do? Provoke people until they react and then mock them for reacting the way you want? And you're callingme a troll?
I would not have wasted so much typing and emotional effort trying to talk to you if I was a troll. I'm just fucking stupid.
Contrary to what you think, I'm not trying to provoke you. Yet you've been getting highly provoked anyway. My "shitting all over" your comment was actually me explaining to you how your stance does the exact opposite of what you think it does. I took the time to explain it in detail, and you didn't acknowledge any of it. You just dug in deeper and took it personally almost to the point of having a meltdown.
I don't know what else to tell you. I've been trying to have a discussion here, and it feels like you're trying to have an argument. I haven't seen any effort on your part to discuss genuinely, just fighting and moralizing. Any challenge to your position is taken as a personal insult, to which you then respond with hostility and dishonesty. That's why I think you're a troll.
It sounds like we both agree this was a waste of time, so let's just let it end here. Next time we can both try to do better.
If you don't want to provoke people, don't call them "privileged moralizing purists" or say that our positions are "awfully stupid"
Put plainly, thems fightin words. I engaged with you seriously and you jumped down my throat, and then act like I'm the problem for reacting.
Blocked.
Lol. Thanks for proving my point entirely.
I tried to end this one-sided "conversation" on a cordial, even note. But you still ended up throwing a tantrum and not engaging with anything I said.
You are a troll after all. A privileged, moralizing, purist troll. If the shoe fits, wear it.
