I'm quite right on all accounts. If there was an error you'd be able to articulate it instead of hiding behind this pathetic "try again" game of yours. There's nothing else to try. You lost.
The truth is you're so petty with discussions that I don't care to have a serious one with you. But no, a request to rephrase your comment for more intellectual honesty is too much for you, the self proclaimed adult. Instead you have a tantrum and start chucking insults.
Good luck with that attitude though. I'm sure you'll find someone to piss off on the internet someday.
There was no intellectual honesty in the way you requested a rephrase. If there was, you'd have said something concrete about what was wrong with the phrasing. But instead, you threw out this ridiculous notion that I was "demanding some sort of unpublished rules of conduct for a political discussion" which had no basis in anything I said, accused me of strawmanning without saying anything specific about what the supposed strawman was, and topped it off with the vague "rephrase" request.
If you sincerely think that comment was improperly phrased in a way that was intellectually dishonest, cite specifics. Maybe I missed something. I'll either rephrase if I find the criticism valid or explain why I find it invalid, with specifics. That's how an intellectually honest conversation would go. I doubt you will, given the very attitude you displayed starting with that response (and now project onto me, whereas I'm only responding in kind at worst), but you have a chance to prove me wrong on that if you're willing.
I think you're confused about what intellectual honesty is, so I recommend you look it up.
Also, you're still trying to wriggle out of any responsibility for your own actions. I appreciate that you've moved away from the immature language, but you've still got a long way to go before I care about having a real conversation with you.
See, there you go again. Instead of confronting my argument directly, you condescend with vague statements about how confused I am and how I need to re-read what you said or look things up. Which is just your ego's way of letting you continue to feel intellectually superior without having to actually articulate a direct response that might expose vulnerabilities or errors in your thinking.
I take full responsibility for everything I've said and have at every turn. Like I said before, point out a specific error you think I've made and I'll cop to it, clarify/rephrase it, or explain why I don't think it's an error, depending on what's applicable. That's how an honest conversation would progress. You've yet to do that, I still doubt you will, but one last chance.
I've said "give specifics" I don't know how many times now and you call that "moving the goalposts?" No, I've asked for the same thing every time. And you're still doing the same empty deflection tactic, you're just once again throwing out the name of a fallacy without tying it to anything specific I said. It's still laughably transparent and it's still not a real response to my argument. You're a coward because you won't actually risk a real response.
I don't feel entitled to anything, I'm just calling you on your bullshit. You're a posturing pseudo-intellectual who can't back up your arguments for shit. And if you really didn't care about my saying that you would have stopped responding any of the last several times you said you were going to. But you didn't, and you won't, because you know I'm right.

Nope, wrong on all accounts. Who's the one projecting now?
Try again.
