    The three paragraphs regarding the topic that I explicitly stated that I wasn’t engaging with you about?

    The focus on the addendum that you didn’t have to include but did anyway?

    You don’t seem to understand that everything you say in an argument is part of the argument. You done fucked up by letting your emotions get the best of you, and if you think that doesn’t impact your chances of successfully convincing another person about something, you’re just fooling yourself. Humans are emotional creatures, and whether you’re right is, at most, the same importance as maintaining the other person’s willingness to accept that you’re right. Yeah, that’s fucked up, emotions should have nothing to do with whether something is correct or incorrect. If you’re right, you’re right… Right?

    Case in point: you know I’m right, but you’re pissed off at me and don’t want to admit it (but maybe you will, now that I’ve called you out on it, just to spite me)

      Well fuck, now I have to spite you by not admitting it!
