> It’s not really clear why that’s relevant to anything. It is relevant, because you asked for an example. This was a blogpost about clubhouse, and they are using their insane, personal experience, of living in isolation for a decade, to satisfy their curiosity, as some situation that is related to clubhouse, according to them. That is crazy. That is insane. And I should not have to explain to you why that is the case. If someone is talking about clubhouse this way, then I have absolutely no problem, with describing such a blog post, as my example of unhealthy levels of obsession. > Clearly this person’s choices are unusual You asked for an example, and I gave you one that satifies what you asked for. I am glad you agree that this is an example of unusual behavior.

I didn’t see them suggest that their choice to isolate was somehow related to clubhouse. What gave you that idea? > That is crazy. That is insane. And I should not have to explain to you why that is the case. Unfortunately I think you may need to. What exactly are you saying is insane? The person who wrote that piece?

  > their choice to isolate was somehow related to clubhouse > What gave you that idea? The way that it is related to their writing/blog post about clubhouse, is that they put it in their writing/blog, about clubhouse. > The person who wrote that piece? Yes. As you noted, their choices are "unusual", to put it lightly. I am glad that you agree and that I have provided a good example, of someone who does "unusual" things, talking about clubhouse in this way. These are the people who I am talking about. The people who do "unusual" things like spend a literal decade in isolation, and then using their experience, in their writings about clubhouse. You asked for an example, and I gave you one. Glad you agree that I have given you this example.

    Can you say what specifically about this person leads you to say they are insane?

      > leads you to say they are insane? You already agreed that their choice, to spend a decade in isolation, was unusual. If we want to use a euphemism, and it looks like I will have to do so given how you are acting, I'll just stick with that position, that you agreed is the case. Spending a decade in isolation is pretty "unusual", and you have already agreed that this is the case. So I'll just have to stick with the word that you already agreed to call it, given that you are unwilling to understand basically anything that I am saying. Both you and I agree, that this is pretty darn "unusual". And if that is the only word that you will concede describes the situation, then I guess I am ok with simply saying that their decisions are pretty darn "unusual", and we'll just use that as the euphemism, and the example that you asked for.

        I agreed that it’s unusual. But that’s not the same as insane, and I am not using a euphemism. If you are using the word ‘unusual’ as a euphemism for insane, that’s not how I’m using that word. You keep saying we ‘agree’ but that’s not true if we are using the word we are supposed to ‘agree’ on differently. Do you think all unusual behavior is insane? If not, can you explain how this particular behavior is?

        > agreed that it’s unusual Ok, well lets just go with that then. When people who do things like spend a decade in isolation, and then use that example in the writings about clubhouse, well that is what I am talking about. There is no need to talk about a voicechat app, in this way, or take such a person seriously, as a normal example, of a normal opinion on a voice chat app.
