He has no choice. He’s on a public internet forum making dumbass statements where everybody can see and react to them.

Just be thankful I bothered to break it down for him instead of roasting him outright.

The point that you’re missing is if you’re actually trying to change his mind, or just berate him publicly.

If its beration, then I guess carry on, though that makes for horrible reading by the rest of us, though it probably makes you feel very good for yourself.

And in the real world, when you say stupid shit, people are going to react honestly.

Because you would say the exact same thing to him to his face if you were both in a party in a room full of people, right?
