If you actually wanted me to explain myself, you would have done it a long time ago. Whatever I say now doesn't matter, you'll find a way to argue with it.
Oh, so it's not that you can't, it's that you realize any explanation will be BS and I won't let that slide.
That I agree with.
As I said, you don't actually want me to clarify because you'll find a reason to disagree with whatever I say.
Again with the hypocrisy that you know what I want better than I do.
But good on you for ignoring the "pointless" exercise of actually defending your claims, in favor of the pointless exercise of just claiming the other person isn't fault for your inability.
Really makes the implicit claim that you are avoiding something "pointless" very strong.
I quoted the words you said. You literally said any explanation I gave would be bullshit.
Yes, we both know its true. Your ego is too fragile to admit you are wrong, and you've realized that you've painted yourself into a corner. The only thing left is to attack me and make it my fault. So of course any attempt at an explanation will be BS.
That being said, I would be happy to be proved wrong and would admit to it right here and right now. This is one of those advantages of seeking the truth rather than trying to be right.
I'm not attacking you or making it your fault. Once again, you said any explanation I gave would be bullshit, so there's no point in giving an explanation.
I can't help what you said.
"I'm not making it your fault...but here's what you just said and why it means I can't explain myself."
Lol
Yet again, if literally any explanation I can possibly give would be a lie, why should I bother?
So wait, now it is my fault? Two posts ago it was my fault. Then the last post it was not my fault,... But actually my fault. And now it's fully my fault again. I can't keep up with this rollercoaster! Lol
You realize it says a lot about you that you are willing to do this rather than just try to explain yourself.
Yet again- if any explanation I give is a lie, why should I explain myself?
So now we're back to you just blaming me for your inability to explain yourself. Probably won't even admit that you were wrong when you claimed you weren't blaming me.
Do you want me to explain myself?
