I think he overreacted hugely, and that's my point. He's trying to make this into a debate about theory and I'm not interested. The whole "Dunning-Kruger" thing is utterly ridiculous. Coming in saying I'm suffering from illusory superiority is an overreaction, I'm just calling that out. All his accusations of me overreacting by saying I'm defensive just came out of nowhere. This was meant to be something fun, and comments on my thread, not a silly off topic debate with idiotic misattributions of a cognitive bias he doesn't understand the meaning of. No one is overreacting here but him. No one's "ruffled" here (or I'm certainly not). I'm not feeling any emotion at all here. I'm just telling him he's being fucking silly because he's being fucking silly. If saying "fucking" is perceived as an overreaction, I don't care. He's saying I'm suffering from illusory superiority and calling me defensive and making this into a debate about petty shit. The topic of this thread is discussing my music, which he hasn't done. No emotion here, no emotion at all, regardless of how it comes across. So if you think I'm overreacting, you're mistaken. He's overreacting by misapplying nonsense and pulling accusations (or call it whatever you want, "attributions") out of nowhere and trying to make this into a petty debate about stuff I've already said is a personal choice.
If anyone was ruffled or defensive, it was him, he didn't like me criticizing music theory, so he came in to pounce on that rather than actually respond to the topic of the thread... and he tried to avoid seeming defensive by saying I was defensive. It's absolutely projection. I'm not even feeling anything.
This rant may seem emotional. But it's not emotional at all. I say it's a "rant", because it will likely be perceived that way. Just as I was perceived as defensive. But take my words literally, I don't care how they are misperceived because they're meant to be taken literally. I literally mean what I'm saying, and when I don't mean it, I correct myself. I have made it very clear that it's a personal choice and I'm not interested in debating it. I've made myself very clear. He doesn't understand Dunning-Kurger, he's misapplying it and making this into a petty debate and derailing my thread. And if I wasn't so utterly crap at ignoring people, I'd ignore him. Not because he's bothering me, he's not bothering me: the only reason I need to point this out is not because I have emotional attachment here, it's because I have a compulsion to correct people when I think they're wrong. I'd ignore him if I wasn't so utterly crap at ignoring people BECAUSE I don't want to give more fuel to the fire of his nonsense. But if I spend months to years trying to battle against this compulsion of ignoring people without success, I'm not going to suddenly succeed now. (In B4 someone says I can't have tried because I haven't succeeded).
Okay, so no offence (as none should be taken and hopefully won't be), LL, but you're mistaken. I'm annoying (to most people, it seems to me, not that I care unless I can avoid it (pointless caring about the unavoidable) and I try to avoid it but I only can sometimes) but you're mistaken
