Because you're the self-appointed arbitor of who is or isn't worthy of respect and decent treatment. Why don't you make a ladder out of a mobius strip and use it to get over yourself.Frustration wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 6:57 pm Hey, if they fly like ducks, walk like ducks, swim like ducks, sound like ducks, and in every way behave in the way ducks do, they just might be ducks - and eventually we are obliged to treat them like ducks.

"You think you're better than everyone else!"
"No, just the people I'm better than."
In any case, this isn't about me. It's about other people... and how they're either stupid, or pretending to be.

And we're supposed to just take your word for it that you're smarter than everyone here. In my experience, those that make the most noise have the least to brag about.

I suggest you go back and look for examples of McAvoy making statements which are only meaningful responses if objective, generally-accepted facts are ignored.
If others call you out, it's not me, it's you.
Good to know.
I got nothing to say here.

I was kinda giving you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't operating in bad faith up to this point. I thought you were just young and on the peak of Dunning-Kruger like a lot of college kids are. Guess I was wrong.

Re: Coronavirus - the new pandemic
You ignore arguments multiple times, claim not to know what those instances are, then talk trash?
Yeah, we're done.
