    No, I’m mocking you because I don’t respect you. Why should anyone take you seriously when your only response to any sort of citation is to pretend not to know how to read and post Reddit-tier debate bro buzzwords that you clearly don’t understand the meaning of. It’s hilarious.

          not caring what internet trolls think of me = “slimy bullshit”?

          if you screamed your insecurities any louder, I’d go deaf

            People have been incredibly patient with you and you’ve done nothing but shid and fard everywhere in response.

              oh, how nice of ‘everyone” to dedicate hours upon hours trolling me. I feel special to have kept them from trolling anyone else.

              thanks for saying out loud how much control I have over you. all of you.

                ding ding ding! we got an association fallacy, just because you think 1 responder is a troll doesn’t mean they’re all trolls, you didn’t prove that, you just used a fallacy

                  just because you ignore the proof doesn’t negate it.

            thats another strawman, you can’t prove that these people are trolls, they’re just regular people expressing their opinions same as you

                You made the argument, the burden of proof is on you. Stop trying to make other people do your work for you

                    do you have dementia? should we call your next of kin or something?

        thats a strawman, you’re strawmanning your opponent by pretending that they have no real argument even though you’ve seen their argument and ignored it.

          “I know you are but what am I?” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
