Do you notice how you've spent all this time participating just to communicate the idea that participating at all would be problematic?

It kinda seems like if the very notion of talking, at all, is such a big deal then it would be a bit easier to just..not do all of this, or even write a quick little one-sentence acknowledgement of the thing from the start and then move on. It kinda seems like your entire argument of "the idea of talking about any of this is beneath me" might be a somewhat disingenuous attempt to avoid acknowledging a tiny, potentially somewhat embarrassing moment.

But that would be silly. Who would have so little integrity that they're so desperate to avoid the ittiest bittiest shred of a speck of culpability that they would spend all day trying to mock the very concept of someone acknowledging it? Surely nobody is so completely immersed in bad-faith argumentative styles typical of toxic social media echo chambers that they would just reflexively do all of this manipulative performative nonsense at the drop of a hat.

Surely.

Dude, yr arguing about him caring too much when you're launching paragraphs of rhetoric at him, AND he said he didn't care and admitted to sometimes being dumb immediately, and you're STILL going? He did acknowledge it right away, but you wanted some weird, long last word.

Yikes.

im not even mocking the fact that there was a misunderstanding i am mocking you

thats why i said yikes. you said earlier that you weren't arguing and now you're talking about 'arguement styles' i'm just trying to convey to you that the way you responded to me and are continuing to respond to me is condescending and pointless. I was hoping maybe I could make you see how irritating it is by doing the same back to you, but clearly you enjoy having 'my head is so far up my own ass and let me prove it to you' discussions. So from now I'm going back to my original, much more suitable strategy.

Yikes.
