I disagree on all of the above apart from

> So let's just not engage with each other anymore?



I find it absolutely astounding you deny you engaged in vulgarity and insults, for the same reason I find MAGA folk astounding when they deny reality. Unless for some reason you don't consider saying 'Bullshit'[1] vulgarity - I assume that would be your defense, and indeed I would perceive that to be disingenuous since it clearly is, in the sense it lowers the quality of and taints an otherwise civil conversation.

I'd be more curious to hear why you don't think calling my comment idiotic[1] is resorting to insults - that seems harder to deny, so I wonder what creative justification you might come up with?

> So let's just not engage with each other anymore?

100%. If you want to reply just to note you in fact do not consider saying 'Bullshit' vulgarity' or defend how calling a comment idiotic is not resorting to insults, I'll understand and might respond to that. If we are not discussing operating systems or problems with countries, I consider that a win since that thread would run its course very shortly, then we could be done with each other. Of course if you don't want to reply at all I'll consider that an even bigger win.

Now who's being vulgar?

(I also disagree with your accusations -- but anyone who's read this conversation can see the evidence for themselves)


> Now who's being vulgar?

Not me. Feel free to quote the vulgar word I used that wasn't just quoting you.

> I also disagree with your accusations

Yes, incredibly, you disagree that calling a comment idiotic is resorting to an insult.

> but anyone who's read this conversation can see the evidence for themselves

Yes, they can see that you called my comment idiotic which is unambiguously and objectively resorting to an insult.


You've insulted me on multiple occasions too. I chose to rise above it.

Anyway, I thought you wanted us to part ways?


> You've insulted me on multiple occasions too.

So now you're admitting you insulted me after previously denying that you had?

I never called you an idiot, I stuck to facts and explained why I thought you were wrong.

> Anyway, I thought you wanted us to part ways?

If you read above, I said that if you must reply to this final thread that at least it will be over quickly, and that I will continue to reply to messages as I get notified of them if I feel I need to defend against misinformation (such as you denying you resorted to insults).

If you want our interacting to cease sooner, simply resist your urge to reply.


I disagree


Of course you do, thankfully I trust most readers to look at the evidence and see that without any doubt, you resorted to an insult and vulgarity when I did not, and then denied doing so.


I don't think this thread will age well for either of us but I also don't think even you believe the stuff you're posting


I have no issues with my behavior or anything I've said, as I didn't resort to insults and then deny doing so. Additionally, the evidence is overwhelmingly on my side (yes yes, "you disagree", I know).

> I also don't think even you believe the stuff you're posting

Instead of choosing not to reply, you chose to continue the discussion instead of being done with me as you said you preferred, just to make a bad faith accusation.


>Instead of choosing not to reply, you chose to continue the discussion instead of being done with me as you said you preferred, just to make a bad faith accusation.

You do understand that you're also engaging with me, right?

And that every comment you've made for the last hour has been directed at me as a person?


>You do understand that you're also engaging with me, right?

The difference is I said upfront that I would continue to reply to messages as I see them, as where you just said you wanted to be done yet keep making the effort to engage - even if it's just to make a bad faith accusation.

Edit: And interestingly as your below comment shows, you are manually refreshing to monitor replies which is an extra level of dedication.

> And that every comment you've made for the last hour has been directed at me as a person?

So? I keep getting notifications that you've replied, and I am not engaging in any other discussions so far.


>I keep getting notifications that you've replied

HN sends notifications about replies? How did you set that up?
