This is why I find you so infuriating to talk to. You become so concerned with pedantry that any semblance of a point goes straight over your head.
I never said don't answer my post, or my point. I said don't answer that one question contained within because I predict that the answer you'd give wouldn't be something I find agreeable anyway. It's not that question that is the point of my post, which is precisely why I told you not to answer that question.
But if you can't figure out the actual point on your own then don't bother responding. Not because I'm telling you not to respond, but because it's only wasting everyone's time.
Oh just the one question? Oh, ok then. So I'm just supposed to not be concerned with the "pedantry" of the fact that 1. you told me not to answer a question you asked me, and 2. that you already know ahead of time that you won't agree, like you won't even consider or listen to my points. Alright then. Let me get right back to responding to your post then, as I'm sure it'll be a very productive discussion.
And yeah, you're right. Ever since I came back from my month long break, I've been less tolerant of people talking to me like crap. If you want to call that pedantry and being overly sensitive, go right ahead. But there's only so much of it I think is healthy for a person to take, so if you talk to me like dirty, chances are I'm not going to respond adequately. I'm sorry if that "infuriates" you, but I came here to have respectful discussions with different minded people, not to be verbally abused.
I think you're extremely rude and arrogant, and you've had a chip on your shoulder about me ever since that thread where you told me some pretty crappy stuff including that the only reason anyone here "pretends" to respect me is because I suck their d*cks, . Yeah, that one that Tiberius had to intervene in and had to close down because of what you were saying to me.
I usually try to get along with people, and try not to simply dismiss them because they treated me like crap in the past, and in this thread I was genuinely trying to find some common ground and be on better terms with you because I hate the feeling of disliking someone so strongly and I hate holding grudges. I'm not putting you on my ignore list, but it was a mistake to think I could have a respectable discussion with you. Even on a topic we agree on, you just couldn't wait to turn it around on me and be a jerk about it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
