> Now you’re just being obtuse. Most of my comments were on a par with your own comments. I strongly disagree. > In fact some of the comments you’ve just shared are literally just repackaging similar remarks I made about 2000! Except, the context matters, because 7 was a continue refinement of those things whereas things took a downturn other than that, meaing 7 was the peak, which is what is part of the justfiication. > I’m honestly surprised you can’t see the irony in your comments. Because I think it only exists in your perception. > You’re literally applying a double standard where its “objective” it’s your judgement but anyone else’s judgement that disagrees with your own is subjective. Not at all, I have repeatedly stressed that objective criteria should be fined and used. > ’ve got a fair amount more I’d love to discuss, but it’s probably better we just agree to disagree. I’ve got a fair amount more I’d love to discuss, but it’s probably better we just agree to disagree. Entirely up to you. I'll probably keep replying every time I see a reply. If you think we can have productive discussion, then I hope you would continue, if you think we are seeing things too differently and the discussion will devolve and not be productive, then I would hope you don't. I will note that in a recent, separate discussion you resorted to insults and vulgarity. If you think the same would occur in this discussion with me, knowing we disagree, then I would definitely ask that we just leave it here - but again, I will continue to reply to any messages received that I feel are misrepresenting anything or need what I consider correction.

> I will note that in a recent, separate discussion you resorted to insults and vulgarity. Hard disagree. I hadn’t clocked that you were the same person who was lecturing other people about the politics in their country while living in a different country. I remember from that conversation that you considered your own opinion irrefutable regardless of any evidence presented so it’s no surprise to learn here that you also consider your opinion to be objective and infallible. If I’d clicked you were the same person I wouldnt have bothered replying and just downvoted you like others had.

Do I need quote your words back to you? > who was lecturing other people about the politics in their country while living in a different country. I No, I was someone pointing our your arguments were bad. Out of the two of us, I'm the only one who has lived in both countries, and my arguments were not fallacious. > I remember from that conversation that you considered your own opinion irrefutable regardless of any evidence presented This is certainly ironic given you engaged in whataboutism and your evidence was shown to be flawed for the points you were trying to make. > so it’s no surprise to learn here that you also consider your opinion to be objective and infallible. I think you are bad at reasoning your points and you ignore objective evidence. My opinion isn't infallible, but the reasoning and evidence to support it is better than what you are relying on to support yours. > If I’d clicked you were the same person I wouldnt have bothered replying and just downvoted you like others had. Funny, I suspected you only started the discussion you did because you had recognized I was the same person. But, whatever - let's just not engage with each other anymore? I'm here for productive discussion, if we are clashing to a point that isn't possible I would rather us just both avoid each other.

      I find it absolutely astounding you deny you engaged in vulgarity and insults, for the same reason I find MAGA folk astounding when they deny reality. Unless for some reason you don't consider saying 'Bullshit'[1] vulgarity - I assume that would be your defense, and indeed I would perceive that to be disingenuous since it clearly is, in the sense it lowers the quality of and taints an otherwise civil conversation. I'd be more curious to hear why you don't think calling my comment idiotic[1] is resorting to insults - that seems harder to deny, so I wonder what creative justification you might come up with? > So let's just not engage with each other anymore? 100%. If you want to reply just to note you in fact do not consider saying 'Bullshit' vulgarity' or defend how calling a comment idiotic is not resorting to insults, I'll understand and might respond to that. If we are not discussing operating systems or problems with countries, I consider that a win since that thread would run its course very shortly, then we could be done with each other. Of course if you don't want to reply at all I'll consider that an even bigger win. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43064306 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43064306
