    You seem to have a very binary view

    Of distracting from the actual topic by needlessly fixating on an only tangentially relevant detail? Yeah, I’m kooky like that.

    Is it not possible for someone to agree with a message, but think we can improve on how we tell it?

    Sure, but that’s not what you’re doing. You’re, deliberately or not, pulling all attention away from the message by demanding a fix to something that, in the specific case, is unimportant.

    If we want to convince people of something, is it not best to provide as convincing an argument as possible?

    As I said before, being more exact would invite MORE distracting arguments about it, not fewer.

    I’m not trying to distract from the message

    You’re also not trying to NOT distract from the message either, though. Or you are and you’re doing a piss-poor job of it.

    I’m wondering how we can tell it better

    It was told just fine. You’re actively obscuring the salient point with your pedantry.

      Ok my friend. If I have distracted from the message, that is genuinely not my intention. I’ll leave things here.

      How about we talk about your obvious anger management issues?

        How about we don’t incorrectly infer my state of mind from how assertive my statements are in a pathetic attempt to undermine my valid point?

          Yup, your vitriol is plain as day. Take a chill pill my dude. Maybe walk outside? It must have been a few weeks.

            Confusing calm scorn and deadpan ridicule for furious rage is a common mistake amongst frequent targets of deserved scorn and ridicule 🙄🥱

              Assuming you have the right to treat everyone around you like shit by having a superiority complex is a common trait of narcissistic sociopathy. Maybe get it checked out? The signs are there.

                  Still doing the whole “treating others like shit” thing I see. Must be ingrained. Kindly get some much needed help.

                    If you can’t stand getting called out for your shit takes, don’t infect public spaces with them 🤷
