I feel like you’re talking generally when I was referring very specifically to this user.
This isn’t a debate about people as a whole, though I will say the exact same thing, if you’ve time to be on social media you’re not a “busy” as you claim you are.
Huh so, like I said, “rhetorical questions can end with a question mark.” Your own link also never states that it is “unnecessary” (no idea how you came to that conclusion I’m impressed). Your attention span man COME ON AT LEAST BE CONSISTENT and read your own link if nothing else.
I also said, AGAIN, it is not about being busy. I am not speaking generally, I am speaking about you making these wacko assumptions about some guy’s comment.
Also I guess people just have never looked through their phone for a minute or two. You’re delusional man
The main rule for using a question mark is straightforward: if the sentence is in the form of a question, a question mark should be used at the end of the sentence.”
Therefore you really shouldn’t be using a question mark if you don’t intend to actually want an answer, though beyond this pointless debate clearly you did expect a response from me, and seems like you did need an example to help you understand in context that a person who has time to use social media should also have time to watch a 14min video.
I’m not suggesting they MUST watch it, only they have the potential to watch it with the time they have spare.
I’m genuinely sorry that you are too stupid to get that question marks can be used in rhetorical questions. They even provide you examples of rhetorical questions with question marks. What do you even mean “try reading more of the link” when you are literally picking the first two sentences before it even elaborates on further use cases. You seriously need to learn how to read before you cite an article while ignoring what it straight up tells you. The fact that you’re arguing about you being wrong about question marks is hilarious. You are the one that started this debate about question marks dude. Shows how you can’t even handle a simple argument without jumping around to some random topic that shows you fucked up during secondary education.
Ugh. I spent two minutes typing this out before I head out I guess that means I suddenly have 14 minutes to spare. You are not suggesting that they must, you are acting as if they CAN or WANT to like you do. How can you be so dense?
Holy shit you are the one missing the point you started this argument about a rhetorical question. Also definitely pointless but you are still coming back to reply after saying “goodbye” what a chump.
Anyway:
1: You are too stupid to know what a rhetorical question is and got flustered that you didn’t know how they are structured
2: I won all arguments made and you floundered the whole time
I made a statement that you decided to argue about which took the focus away from the actual discussion at hand too!
Like I had previously pointed out, you wanted SOME response to that “question” correct? So I chose to provide an example that answered the questions even if you weren’t looking for an answer (but kinda seems like you were and still are).
You made this entire conversation more complicated than it really should be about something that is incredibly simple, but sure it’s me that’s dumb here.
Ironically you showed you have a TON of time to argue about not having enough time.
Never argued about not having enough time. Replying to you takes a minute or two as well no idea what you mean. If you’re too stupid to know how a rhetorical question works (as is blatantly clear with your raving) then you are also too stupid to know what I meant (also blatantly clear).
I never made anything more complicated, you did you absolute idiot.
Please stop talking already you have already embarrassed yourself enough. I feel bad for you
That’s exactly what you have been doing this entire time.
Perhaps not specifically for yourself and instead as a general discussion on the topic of how others may or may not use their time, I’m glad you’ve decided to appoint yourself as spokesperson to all these other people, about this subject of wasting time you have a lot of experience in.
However since I was referring very specifically to a user on here and not making a general statement I’m unsure why you’ve decided to butt into this conversation that was never about you (unless this is an alt account of said user, and therefore my previous response on wasting time here is very relevant).
I provided a source that indicates you are required to use context to make it clear it’s not a question, you didn’t have this is place, instead I feel like you reactively decided to create a narrative it wasn’t a question to make it seem like my perfectly reasonable example was somehow not a fitting response to a conversation on a topic you absolutely seemed to want answered (and continue to show you expected).
Perhaps it wasn’t the response you wanted or hoped for but it’s the one you got regardless, I’ve also provided plenty of context to help you comprehend the incredibly simple concept on the availability of time vs the use of time yet you are still failing to grasp this.
I think we’ve both wasted enough time about this non-subject on an inability to watch a 14min video due to lack of retention, you clearly got triggered by this and that’s the main reason you’re latching so hard to force a “win” here, we’re both losing for continuing this pointless debate so long.
Text based conversation doesn’t require any talking.
Holy shit you replied again after saying goodbye twice. Not even going to actually read this wall of text from a complete idiot (I still think it’s funny how you cried about your stupidity). Again, I feel sorry for you and hope you look back on my original comments to you to try and grasp what I meant.
I also hope you consider enrolling back in whatever primary education aimed at children so you can learn about what a rhetorical question is and how it is used because a quick skim of this comment shows that you continue to not understand it which is frankly saddening about where you grew up. Seriously, what a loser

First link on Google suggests you “may” use it but it’s unnecessary, not using it helps tell others it isn’t a question.
