    Yeah, you have a very interesting communication style as well, choosing one thing or another at your convenience. And gritty, too, even when someone is willing to meet you in the middle. I don’t see why I bothered.

        I haven’t altered my choices

        Oh yeah, you have. I noticed your slight change in choice of words.

        You definitely did choose to ignore a clear factor I gave

        You literally bent what you meant halfway down the thread to fit your narrative and pretended there was no other possible interpretation. Idk where you get that you’ve been quite clear.

            I thought it was quite straightforward. “She cannot sing” isn’t the same as “she cannot sing well”. If I say “she can’t cook”, you’d imagine that her cooking is terrible because she lacks basic skills, but if I say “she can’t cook well”, you’d probably find her cooking tolerable because it’s understood that she can do it. It’s an interesting bit of backtracking.

                Now it’s akin to writing a “scholastic research paper on anthropological communication” to point it out. Oh, sure. I thought you “weren’t aware” that a phrase could be interpreted any other way and look at you go flexing that fivehead. But I’m the one with an “astounding ability” to be selective about interpreting things. Right, I’m the one doing that.

        I was only snarky after you were, hon. I don’t know why you’re selectively choosing what to quote.

                Why would I want to argue with you when I’m trying to meet you in the middle?

                The reason for my snark was you being disingenuous and rather condescending. Suggesting that an artist of that caliber would buy their ratings is the most ridiculous attempt at ridicule.

                    How is that “adding context”? Why would I need you to believe me? At least make sense. If you’re replying with some bullshit, I’m gonna reply back to set you straight. It’s simple.
