Yes sir, FirmwareBurner sir! What better person to take advice from than one who refers to his fellows as NPCs with special mental illnesses.

  That, or your incessant self-aggrandizing misantrophy rubs me the wrong way. In a flagged thread where you refer to others you don't agree with as having mental illnesses, you try to defend yourself by suggesting that I might have a reading disability.

    Here's what an impartial LLM has to say about your replies to my arguments using the reasoning deep thinking option: >Please read these comments below. Is fredrikholm correct or did he misinterpret what FirmwareBurner was saying? Would you say fredrikholm was arguing in good or in bad faith towards FirmwareBurner ? >Conclusion Fredrikholm misinterpreted what FirmwareBurner was saying. FirmwareBurner’s criticism was specific to people who judge others’ buying choices, not a blanket dismissal of everyone who cares about purchases. Fredrikholm’s sarcastic reply exaggerates and distorts this into a broader attack, missing the clarification FirmwareBurner provided in response to palata. Thus, fredrikholm did not correctly interpret FirmwareBurner’s intended meaning. Fredrikholm’s comment leans heavily toward bad faith. The sarcastic tone, misrepresentation of FirmwareBurner’s position, and reliance on a personal jab rather than substantive rebuttal indicate a lack of sincere engagement. While online miscommunication or emotional reactions could explain some of this, the overall approach—especially ignoring the clarification and contributing nothing constructive—suggests fredrikholm was not arguing in good faith toward FirmwareBurner. In other words, you've been caught acting as what youngsters refer to as "a roach bitch" in the comments mate.

      > caught ... roach bitch Do you not see the level of anti-social hatred you spew in response to all the people pushing back on your (flagged) comment? Of course I am not meeting your argument; I'm matching your level of acerbic tone to demonstrate just how bad it sounds. If there is one adult in this subthread, it's AnimalMuppet. I'm taking them up on their advice.

  Personal attacks are against site rules. You've been here long enough; you should know that. And yes, "you must have a reading disability" is a personal attack.

    >And yes, "you must have a reading disability" is a personal attack. How else would you address those who attack you in a way that doesn't break the rules, when they obviously are not reading your arguments and are instead pulling made up shit out of their ass to twist the narrative in their (malicious) direction? Now suddenly I'm the bad guy for calling them out? Here's what an impartial LLM has to say about this thread using the deep reasoning option: >Please read these comments below.

And yet I'm still the bad guy here for some reason.

      You point out that they're not responding to what you actually said. You do it without saying that they have mental illnesses. You even might say "this seems like trolling; I didn't say X at all..." And, if it's clearly trolling, you flag it. And you leave it there. See, the conversation isn't just you and them. The conversation is you and them and all of us reading it. And if you go more over the top, more ad hominem than they do, then the rest of us reading it see you as the unhinged one. Don't try to win the conversation with people who are in bad faith. You can't. (Don't even try to out-insult them. You aren't going to get them to go "Oh, hey, he used a better insult than me. Maybe he's right...") Instead, try to win the readers. You can't do that by being more insulting than the one you're arguing with.
