    You know, reasons why are a lot more engaging than just outright dismissal, but whatever I guess.

      Two responses.

      One just says wrong.

      The other actually engages with you on the topic.

      Yet you respond only to the one that just says “wrong” complaining that they didn’t engage you on the topic.

      Self righteous smugness is a hell of a drug, isn’t it?

        What you don’t realize is that I did write up a response to the other one. Then I got distracted, the app closed, I lost my response and I moved on.

        But sure, insult me more. Good discussion.
