You haven’t asked me to explain my point. You accused me of not doing so; I agreed, and explained why I didn’t. Forgive me for not having the foresight to know that I Am A Swedish Plumber would be in my replies and need this broken down for nir.

The only two accounts I’ve had are 1076 and this one (handlebears)

lol.

Well this is awkward. We both said goodbye, but are still walking next to each other.

You didn’t. You ignored my point about not worrying about what Breitbart thought and facetiously spent paragraphs on that point. When you finally got around to acknowledging the middle people, you simply refuted me without anything to back that refutation up. Which is absolutely NOT engagement so much as gainsaying.

If people want to hate me because I refuse to subject myself to your continual and ever-misunderstanding bullshit, then more power to them. They may not have dealt with you before. I have. I know that you’re perfectly capable of having an honest, reasonable discussion, so long as you understand the basis and

Sorry about that. Not “many”, just two. One from brontosaurian, one from you (because he tried to hide his shitty comments behind your valid ones).

“I don’t know” is a valid and direct answer to a yes or no question. It can be truthful, while still not falling in to the binary.

You’re making the classic mistake of thinking I was talking about changing Breitbart’s narrative rather than how the public perceives that narrative.

Copied from the article:

Cool. Well, have fun arguing about the argument, rather than stating salient and relevant points of disagreement. I’ll leave you to it.

My bet is that you’re wrong.

Nevermind this being demonstrably untrue; you still seem to have this strange idea that “yes” or “no” are the only ways to answer that question directly. But that’s not true, and not something I would suggest anyone ever do (give a binary, definitive answer). 

Aww. Did you think I wouldn’t dismiss every comment on this thread? Fuck off, dipshit.

People are often wrong in large numbers.

But that isn’t the real question. The real question was asked. What you’re trying to do is extrapolate a generalized question from the specific question that was asked.

Nobody cared what you thought the first time, and no one cares now.

So...no, then?

How am I not the one who knows that? NewAroundHere is the one who made the inference? I’m with you, in refuting it.

Your example is one of answering the question first, rather than just simply answering the question. I would have been perfectly happy for her to answer the question in summation of her point, rather than at the start.
