You have quoted the fact, which is the definition of the Gish gallop. Your opinion is that it does not apply here, and I disagree. You do not hold authority over how to interpret English, so you cannot therefore declare factually that I am wrong, only that you disagree.
As for taking something seriously or not, that’s got nothing to do with right or wrong; you need credibility to be considered, and without credibility the “rightness” of your argument never makes it to evaluation. Happens all the time in the legal world [1], and certainly not at all related to the innate properties of the person who makes the argument.

- Eisenstein 3y agoYou don't get to disagree. You are wrong. Full stop. Stop trying to find a loophole in 'its like, my opinion'. Admit your mistake and correct your behavior going forward like a decent human.
- Zetice 3y agoDid it make you feel good to write that? Cathartic? I hope so, because otherwise it was a useless thing to write, as that's not up to you.
- Eisenstein 3y agoFrustrated more like. It sucks when people are too proud to be sensible and it makes me misanthropic.
- Zetice 3y agoI know you won't get this so long as you're frustrated, but there's some real irony in this comment. Maybe in a few weeks come back and reread this to find it.

- Eisenstein 3y agoIs it ironic to tell a crazy person that they are crazy, because from their perspective they are fine and you are crazy?
- Zetice 3y agoIt is if you think you're the one person but actually are the other!
- Eisenstein 3y agoYou should have just used the classic 'I know you are but what am I'.
