I'm just going to address this part because as I've said multiple times - I'm not personally invested in this issue and I don't particularly care - I did not say that to begin with. My post to you was: That's how it looks to me anyway. Again, I don't have a personal horse in the race, I just don't think that argument at all addresses the issue people actually have. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but almost every post I see seems to reflect it." |
I do not believe I have addressed your overall intelligence. I have explained why I think your ability to follow logic and threads is suspect. So, no, I don't see the need to apologize.
Another prime example in the above post. You said "it doesn't appear to be what anyone in this thread is saying". If it doesn't appear that anyone in the thread is saying it, then it must appear that nobody is saying it. That is a direct logical negation. If there dont appear to be any apples on this table, then it must appear that there are no apples on the table.
So, why would you complain that I am putting words in your mouth? We can add paraphrasing and logic to the list of areas in which you are demonstrating a deficiency.
The reason I am fixated on that point is because if there is a fundamental flaw in somebody's ability to engage in a conversation, then that has to be addressed before anything else can be discussed. If I show clear evidence that something you said was wrong, and you are still going to insist it's right, than it is kind of pointless to address anything else. If you would have said "Oh I guess someone is saying that, but that's not the general sentiment", then we maybe could have proceeded pleasantly.
Or maybe not, because as was pointed out several times, that is the exact comment he was responding to, which is why his comment was relevant in context. That has been explained several time to you very clearly and been ignored several times, so either you are unable to comprehend or incapable of honest conversation. Sorrynotsorry.
It's like if someone says, "there's doesn't appear to be a white dog in this room". You point out that there is a white dog in their lap and their response is "I never said there was no white dog in the room". I'm not sure how any conversation on that is going to be pleasant. I don't know how to politely respond to that without calling the person's honesty or intelligence into question. Getting called out on bullshit probably isn't a very fun experience. For the bullshitter at least. I myself had some very hearty chuckles.
