I love how I try to figure out the most likely intended meaning by thinking about how the one thing and the other would be most likely expressed but you win the argument by saying "YOU wouldn't." Whatever, this is the internet
I'm just saying how the post makes the most sense and am pointing out to you that how you would say something isn't necessarily how somebody trying to make a funny post would say something.
If your intention is to win an argument on the internet where the average joe decides who wins it by some dumb points than good luck with that.
I was calmly explaining how your reading makes no sense to me and you didn't engage with any point I was making. That's why I'm surprised how I'm downvoted. I'm not trying to win, I'm just expressing my surprise. But I don't really care. Unless you decide to engage with anything I said, this conversation is over.
I really don't know what you mean by interacting. You were saying that "clearly" the meaning is such and such, like there is no other way this can be interpreted. I interacted by trying to.open your mind to a different thought pattern, especially in this context. And now you end the conversation because... why?
Also you're critisizing that I was using few words to make a point, and when I elaborate the point you're switching to complain again about how I'm saying things, and aren't saying anything on topic.
