The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

See, now you're just attacking your own strawman again.

Also you can post all the links you want to obfuscate the actual information you are referring to. Can you quote the actual words, where someone in this thread said something along the lines of "There is evidence in the Mueller report that Thiel and Musk were compromised by Russian agents"? Obviously disregarding my own example quote.

Without actually producing that assertion, your complaints about a lack of evidence for it, is the exact moment that you built a strawman argument.

Fade away buddy, it's the only face you have left.

Nope

You asked for the links.

I did, you pretended it didn't exist.

You really can't tolerate people asking for evidence, holy shit.

See now you're obviously trolling.

All it would take is one little

But musk and Thiel are in the Mueller report!

But you can't even do that to refute. I'm asking for quotes because the links you provided did not contain the information you claimed. I'd quote you on the missing info, but that's logically impossible, something I'm sure you're keenly aware of, since you've gone back though the thread and realized that no one asserted that Musk or Thiel are in the Mueller report, which is why you can't quote it back to me.

Nope. I provided the evidence you asked for. You ignored it.

Remember that you are acting this way, including posting wannabe anime villain lines like "Fade away buddy, it’s the only face you have left." because I dared to ask for evidence.

Look at that, you can't quote the thing that doesn't exist.

Tell you what. I've dealt with this before. Quote it, put it here and I'll admit I'm wrong. I'll go back and edit every post that I'm wrong, and I'll apologize to you... Big win for you. But if you fail to quote, from this thread, something that amounts to "the Mueller report contains evidence of Musk and Thiel conspiring with Russians", and it's not one of my example posts, then it's a tacit admission that you've built a strawman, you know you've built a strawman, and you aren't arguing in good faith.

Gauntlet has been thrown. Are you gonna pick it up, or are you gonna walk away?

I already proved what you asked for. You ignored it.

Look at that. Failure to defend yourself. So you tacitly admit that you're arguing a strawman that you created, and you know it. At least we are on the same page now.

Glad that we've reached the stage where your best defense is to act like the dumbest fucking LLM on the planet.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Your best defense is to just cover your eyes and keep going "NO YOU DIDN'T, NO YOU DIDN'T!", so I'm still doing better than you in that regard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Look at that. Another comment, another tacit admission that you are full of shit.

For anyone still watching, all they have to do is quote where someone in the thread genuinely said that musk and thiel are in the Mueller report. If they manage to do so, then I’ll go back and edit all my posts to apologize. The only person who would walk away from a win like that, is one who knows they have already lost.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Remember, you are behaving like this because you're angry I asked for evidence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not angry. Maybe a little amused?

You didn't ask for evidence, you built yourself a strawman. It's easy for you to refute me. Just post the quote. It's way less effort and will get you much better results. Except you can't, because you've created a pocket fiction universe to protect your fragile ego. Unfortunately, you're the only one there, and the rest of us can see (and read) the thread and know that you are wrong.

Nut up or shut up. Or I guess keep kicking the can down the road? I've got nothing but time to read and reply. Or copy/paste if you keep lying the same lies. At least come up with some fucking new ones. The fans are getting bored.

Remember, you're acting like this because I had the gall to ask for evidence.
