But Flying Squid said it was irreparably damaged with crack seepage or whatever
Why are you lying about what I said?
Is this an example of positivity and productivity, the things you claimed I lacked?
Interesting that you aren't linking to where I said that. Perhaps it was because I said it in the other thread yesterday and not today after I read this article and found out I was wrong?
Is it that you're being highly dishonest or is that just my negativity and lack of productivity that made me lack psychic powers?
So you said it yesterday without any proof or knowledge? Why would you make such a statement when you come from a place of ignorance? Would you have come here and declared you've reversed your position and apologized to the people you zealously argued against from said place of ignorance or did you only do so when called out?
I speculated yesterday and they dishonestly took what I said out of context.
"Said" is past tense. Yesterday, when you were pretending to be an authority on historic rocks, you said it wouldn't wash off. I didn't see that thread and immediately understood what they meant.
They weren't being even slightly dishonest, but it's clear you are. Would you have admitted you were wrong if you weren't called out by name? My gut feeling is "not a chance".
When did I ever claim to be an authority? That's just a lie.
You may have assumed I was talking about this thread, and not making a reference to what you went on about for an hour arguing with everyone abiut yesterday (edit: or 2 days ago I guess). But I didn't say that, and you were wrong.
Ah, so you were just ignoring the fact that I admitted I was wrong in this thread and were just going to pretend that never happened. Which is very productive and not at all negative or tearing me down.
I realize that admitting you are wrong is the worst possible thing you can do on the internet, but I still admitted I was wrong about there being any permanent damage. And was relieved about it.
You're just arguing from a petty and pedantic place while half the globe is frying.
Maybe just shut up. You wont' regret it, you won't get stuck ruminating on all these internet strangers who don't like you, you can get on with your day and let people who care more about our world than old rocks get on with our day as well.
You might read the order of comments here and notice that people are attacking me, not the other way around. You included, I may add.
okay so you're a victim, maybe someone will wear a colored ribbon for you, changes nothing about my suggestion.
I never claimed to be a victim. You, however, claimed I was the one arguing with people when it's actually people arguing with me.
It's not my fault you said something that was false.
You inherently claimed to be a victim by claiming that people were attacking you. You've done an embarrassingly bad job of damage control today.
Just because people are attacking me doesn't make me a victim. It makes me annoyed.
OK, I think maybe you should take some time before you respond.
OK.
What do we call someone who is the subject of an attack?
I think you've got to just give up arguing this. You made a mistake, which is fine if we own up to it and don't repeat it. In the future, don't dismiss protests because of perceived damage that you don't actually have any knowledge of. You aren't going to win the argument here, which shouldn't be your goal, but you can prevent yourself from making the same mistake in the future.
What you call it I don't know. What I call it is irritated.
What is it like being actually insane?
Easier now that I'm on Cymbalta. Thanks for asking.
I think you're getting attacked because this post is an accusation, first and foremost. It definitely doesn't feel like it is positive or productive.
Well that certainly gives people an excuse to tell ridiculous lies and take things I said out of context, doesn't it?
I mean people are saying shit like I claimed to be an authority. When? Where? I didn't do that.
And I did say I was wrong, but apparently that makes things even worse somehow.
I get it. I think defending yourself against that is probably a lost cause, though, even if that feels bad not to.
As for being an authority, personally, I see that. I think you made a statement and people, reasonably or not, assumed you know something more than they do. You post a lot, so why wouldn't you know a lot?
I guess for the same reason that Trump won't show up but doesn't know a damn thing.
