Then there's no reason to listen to you. A claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. You just sound foolish.
A claim without evidence can be, and often is, accepted without evidence, too. I'm not handfeeding you because I don't want to misrepresent the idea that this forum is even capable of being a central repository of facts when the past 67 pages already establish the contrary. The notion that Trump can still win is no stakes expression of a possibility that is irrelevant and inconsequential to whether or not he does win.
You're making unsubstantiated claims that we shouldn't pay attention to. How is that a problem for me? I'm not the one who sounds foolishly in denial.
My claims are substantiated by many reasons that aren't formatted and submitted in any official way. The claim that you are lying to me simply needed to be reviewed a few posts prior to be substantiated.
- I didn't say that I didn't edit my post.
The disclaimer, here "I didn't say that I didn't edit my post" is the kind of dishonesty I am talking about.
- The claim that I edited my post is an intended distraction from your own inability to argue the point you want to argue, particularly when I'm not arguing against my post being edited.
No. It's a real concern that distracted me from having confidence in this conversation as I noticed changes in your text when I was submitting a response. Your responses make me suspicious that you would retro-actively edit posts to make yourself seem more intelligent and aware than you ever really were, perhaps even make me look like a fool in places where I wasn't really being a fool.
- The point of my post, without or without an edit, remains the same
Contentious.
- If you're going to say I lied, it's up to you to, at the very least, point out the lie. Sorry, friend.
I did. And as you continue the façade, I can point out more aspects of it.
I don't actually think you're a pedophile. Did you not understand my point?
I saw intimidation in what you suggest you are capable of doing in the case I do not satisfy you.
I participate in these threads, not for the conservatives I respond to, but for the lurkers who might have agreed with the conservatives.
So, you are admitting that you see me as a conservative, and that it was your intended goal to exploit whatever you can to shame others to toe the line. That's a classic puritan tactic. Japanese society uses guilt and shame as conformity tools too. It's something that I disagree with, as I see it a hindrance of self-expression, freedom of thought, and artistic expression--encouraging self-loathing to develop in its place. Maybe that's how you were raised. I don't think it's very honest.
