Of course people are mean sometimes! You think I’m vehement because my skin is thin, but I can do this precisely because it isn’t. I can engage with people who would drive others to kill themselves.
If my hobby of trying to kill trolls with kindness wherever I find them gets to even a fraction of them… Why stop?
What is there to see eye to eye on? Are you trying to claim that your behavior was perfectly reasonable, and not worth improving? It doesn’t matter what we were arguing about, the moment you turned mean, my goal became to make you see that you should do better.
And back to strawmans, too, you were able to maintain the facade of kindness for what… Three comments?
You’re literally proving me right. Doubling down on the behaviour I’m trying to get you to acknowledge and improve isn’t exactly making me look like the crazy one.
Now your offer to help just looks like a feint, a pretend reaction in the most extreme way you could think of, in order to faze me.
Rejecting truth because it was spoken by a peasant and not a King, isn’t wisdom.
My core message here is that you turned mean when you didn’t have to, can you honestly claim I’m wrong?
Then again, mentally diagnosing someone over Lemmy isn’t something an honest person would do… I can only assume that you’ve come to equate persistence with crazy.
You keep saying I want you to engage in good faith, I do. And you reply you don’t want to engage.
That’s fine. Not engaging at all is perfectly valid.
The issue here, and the one I’m trying to get you to see, is that you keep picking the third option:
To try and get at me.
Now, if I couldn’t take that, I should walk away. But I can, so the far more productive option is have you learn to choose to stop, or at least start you on your way. Then, maybe someone who can’t take it, won’t have to.
