No. This is what you said:
And I explained why I was not saying that, which you have not accepted. But I do notice you've decided to whine about something I said hours ago as if it were about you, so I don't think you're dealing with a full deck of cards.
Eww, the projection...
Correct, that is what I asked. I never said it wasn't... You made a comment that seemed to imply women weren't brave enough. Which is obviously a ridiculous statement. So I asked if that's what you meant. You then said it wasn't. So, then what was or even is your point?
Okay then. Who was it about? When you replied to the person that was replying to me and you said "people like this", who was the person like that? I think any reasonable person would infer you meant the person that the commenter you were replying to was replying to. So, if not, then who?
You seem way more concerned with being defensive you keep undercutting your own statements. I don't know what point you're trying to make. I'm still waiting for you to clarify that. Until you can, this is pointless.
It was… a person not you because I said it half a day ago.
My god, the ego you have to think someone was talking about you before they ever talked to you.
Also, and I don’t know why you need this explained to you, it was a question I never asked you.
You are a non-issue. You cease to exist to me the second I put down my phone. Get over yourself.
Okay, so it was a strawman and completely pointless. That tracks. Why did you even bother commenting if you weren't going to add anything of substance and refuse to have a conversation? What a waste.
Wow. You think anything not about you is pointless. Amazing.
Nope, I think pointlessly attacking a strawman is pointless. I think making a point and immediately back peddling is pointless. I think refusing to engage in an actual conversation and only being defensive is pointless. I'm still waiting for you to actually even make a point. Why even use social media to not be social? What did you attempt to accomplish? As my logic professor would say, you're just making noise, just squeaking like a door.
What did you attempt to accomplish by accusing me of talking about you hours before you joined this post when it was a question I never asked you?
You're still squeaking.
You were literally replying to a comment that was replying to me. Therefore I was already in that conversation even before you joined...
That was the point. Instead of just letting your assumption stand (I made the assumption you were actually trying to have a conversation not just attack a strawman) I offered my actual opinion.
Why are you so defensive? Have a conversation or don't. What you're doing now is pointless.
Your opinion was predicated on the lie that I was talking about you. For the millionth time, I was not.
I'm defensive because you're lying about me and I don't like it when people lie about me.
Stop lying about me. You can't fucking read my mind. You don't know who I was talking about. It was not you. It was never you.
Stop lying.
Now it's time for you to either insist you know what I was talking about better than I do or try to weasel out of the fact that you are lying about me over and over some other way. Anything but admit I was never talking about you.
Why you think I would ever want to have a conversation with someone who accuses me of something I wasn't doing over and over again and refuses to accept that I wasn't doing it, I don't know. Because it is impossible to have a conversation with someone who will not accept what you say.
If you want to talk at me but not to me, good job.
Stop lying.
Stop.
Lol, you're trying every deflection you can. Such a squeaky door. I'm still waiting for the point of it all.
The point of it all is: stop lying.
But apparently you think it's fine to keep lying.
I will stop "deflecting" the second you stop lying. But you won't.
Try it. Admit I wasn't talking about you and see if I'm willing to discuss whatever it is you want to discuss.
But you'll never admit that you were lying because you don't want to discuss anything. You want to lie.
Called it.
Good luck ever discussing anything with me again on Lemmy.
You never engaged in discussion to begin with, you were only defensive.
See above.
Still squeaking? Seriously, you're not fooling anyone. It's okay to admit when you're wrong and move on with life. You made pointless contributions and got called out. That isn't the end of the world. I don't understand the senseless defensiveness that nobody is buying. It's not just me that recognizes the nonsense, look at the votes. Unless your next comment has any sort of point to it, this is the end of it from me. Thanks for wasting everyone's time I guess.
See above.
