What's a viewpoint? Can you define it? What does it mean to refute something? Can you define it?
Why aren't you answering me? You must know what these words mean if you're using them. Are you a dumbass?
Say whatever you like. I've put up with your shit long enough and I'm just going to keep doing this.
Go ahead, say I'm acting in bad faith for doing exactly what you did.
We've already seen exactly how you respond when I do answer your bad faith questions, so expect that too.
After this conversation, I assume so.
INB4 you critique "my" phrasing again
What's a "question?" Can you define it?
Sure, just as soon as you answer what I asked about what a question is. That's not an answer.
Did you miss the part where I said I'd throw your bad faith tactics straight back in your face? You don't like my tactics, then you don't like your tactics, because all I'm doing is holding up a mirror.
By linking to a clip by System of a Down, are you saying you think my parents have down syndrome?
I play chess exactly the way you play chess. I told you this repeatedly.
Do you really not understand what's happening here? How much more blatant do I have to be?
You used a shit ton of bad faith tactics in this conversation. I could have, and to some extent did call them out. But then you can just ignore, deny, or otherwise dismiss that.
Which is why I'm simply throwing them straight back in your face. I've said several times that I'm using bad faith tactics, but I'm doing that for a purpose. Because now you have to be the one to label these tactics as bad faith. And every single bad faith tactic I employed is something you did first.
Demonstration by example. Is it frustrating the way I keep asking you pointless, irrelevant questions, making it impossible to have a conversation? Maybe you'll think about that the next time you do that, the way you did from the start. Does it piss you off the way I twist your words around, the way you do with mine? You don't like how I pretended you didn't answer the same way you did? Boo fucking hoo. You wanna go low, I will be right there with you. I am not afraid to get dirty wrestling a pig.
So yes, I am in fact playing chess like a pigeon, because I am playing chess with a pigeon, and I'm just following your lead. I'd be perfectly happy to have a real conversation otherwise.
