You finding that funny is on brand. When you're just an ambush predator with a mindset based on being right instead of making things right and you think the whole point of communication here is winning vs. losing, or "good guy vs. bad guy", that would seem absurd.

But since whose right and wrong and who has the most likes are the languages you understand, you'll be glad to know that you're wrong. According to my notifications, I've gotten at least six likes on my previous posts in this thread. For a guy who prides himself on knowing his stuff to throw shade at others, it's surprising your Likes analysis is so off the mark.

Thanks for pointing it out though. People usually leave a Like when they agree with the post. That post was about your years-long tirade of toxic behavior. Do the math.

Before your two most recent posts in this thread that got six likes on the basis of attacking me, you had six likes across your other 18 posts, meaning that the majority of your posts had no likes at all. Additionally, you don't get notifications for withdrawn likes which you certainly had. But I'll concede that three likes on one post aren't more likes than three to four on 18 posts combined.

So indeed, it's easy to do the math. Your argument in this thread was rubbish. And as for the likes for your two most recent posts, I've always had enemies on this site, because as you've said, I've proved people wrong a lot over the years. And at times they've been so way off the mark that merely pointing out the facts must have been humiliating for them. They'll be there to support you when you attack me, but they won't be there to agree with the arguments you've made in this thread. Go figure what this means for your ability to bring quality discussion to the table. It's also worth mentioning that not every like has the same value; you can usually see who gave you a like; and when you know the people here, you can figure why they might have given it to you; it doesn't necessarily mean that you are right in what you are saying, but rather that you said what they wanted to hear. In this specific example of you attacking me, you'll easily find a few people who won't care at all if what you say is correct or not.

I could continue to play this game where you assume that my stance is that more likes equate winning, but instead I am going to tell you why I talked about winning in the first place. It was when you couldn't stop yourself from badgering Norion, as if you were hellbent on still getting a win out of a discussion that you initiated with the same level of aggressiveness that you employed against DonFerrari in a thread about Nintendo and third parties. An aggressiveness that was never justified in the first place, because the guy you addressed isn't someone who wants harm for Nintendo or bashes the company (unlike Don who is willing to defend every company that acts negatively towards Nintendo). Furthermore, this is not some random thread, it's mine, hence why I keep looking at it and what's happening in here.

So now you're getting into withdrawn likes that you can't measure (but you're SO sure exist, because apparently you're scanning each and every post for updates) and using a like-to-post ratio to determine... what exactly? You say I'm only making an assumption that your stance is "likes = winning", but you sure are spending a lot of time and energy keeping up with them to consistently bring them up.

My argument was based on a misunderstanding, one in which I consistently pushed for a complete one. I keep saying this, and you keep ignoring it. Me and the guy I got into it with eventually realized that it had gone too far and we talked privately, and I owned up to my behavior. I'm not embarrassed to say that. Funnily enough, we both kind of realized that we needed to course correct after you got involved. At least for me, it helped me see who I don't want to become.

You've always had enemies on this site because you spend most of your time here picking out posts that allow you to humiliate people. That's a great way to make enemies. Don and I have a history, but outside of saying, Nice burn, you really got me there and So what's your new spin for why Nintendo consoles keep getting new releases for games from big publishers if Nintendo users only buy Nintendo games? what did I say that wasn't on topic? I asked him for sources on his claims and I backed up mine. Yeah, I put a little extra spice on those posts based on who I was replying to. But my original reply was to Mnementh about how it's not fair to compare years-late and Legacy Edition Switch ports when there are better comparisons. But that doesn't fit your agenda, so you left that part out. Either way, are we really going to pretend like the very behavior you're trying to call me out for isn't the very behavior that you've brought to this site for much longer and in greater amounts?

I don't see your name within the first 40 or so posts of this thread, but I'll take your word that it's yours now. If you really wanted to come to some sort of resolution instead of trying to turn me into the next victim of your public flogging kink, maybe you do like Norion did and take it private. He's the one "good guy" in this whole situation; I've never pretended like it's me, and it sure as shit ain't you. With your sudden moral grandstanding, I'll have some optimism that you actually want to resolve this in a productive manner.
