Do I see a hint of cognitive dissonance?
FM isn't reading or replying to the content of my posts. It happens a lot on here. People create a caricature in their mind, and reply to what they think that caricature would say, rather than what the person they are talking to has actually said. So I'm left with either discussing the position of the imaginary guy, or wasting my time trying to break the person out of their delusion so we can talk about what I actually said. Usually, I repeat my point once with some clarification, and if they are still being obtuse, I just move on.
Regarding cognitive dissonance, I'm only asserting a single non-partisan point. It would certainly be cognitive dissonance if the imaginary person FM is arguing with held both my opinion and the opinion FM made up for said imaginary person. But that's not particularly relevant to me.
On a side note, am I known for non-answers? It'd be nice to have a thing.
