One of the problems with arguing with people whose levels of language comprehension are much lower than mine is that they often have no idea what's actually going on in the debate.
You're not smarter than everyone else, you're just more self-absorbed and cynical. Granted, a lot of people I argue with think they're smarter than everyone else, but you're the first in a long time to have the bad grace to just come out and say it.

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.

"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.
So in other words you are full of shit.

If others call you out, it's not me, it's you.

Good to know.
I got nothing to say here.

...okay there's no way in the nine hells you don't know that it's yourself you're describing.

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.

You ignore arguments multiple times, claim not to know what those instances are, then talk trash?

Yeah, we're done.

You started the trash talk and insults, Frustration, not him.
