Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this

Honestly? When they started trying to make up nonsense to excuse away intentionally misleading people.

I don’t particularly care if someone uses a bad source, but it does annoy me when someone with a history of using bad sources never ever gets called on it. The source they cite they’ve never read, and they’re trying to claim that “not available to the public without a very selective application that requires a business email, one that they clearly did not pass” is the same thing as “publicly available”. It’s obnoxious.

I was very nice up until that point, but now we’ve reached comment depth and despite admitting that what they did was shitty they’re still trying to spin it like they did nothing wrong. He just used a bad source, right? But he can’t admit that was a mistake. It’s damning behavior, really.

I mean how did you become a parody of a smug, obnoxious redditer who seems to have learned to talk solely from Joss Weadon movies and anime?

  It is rather effective, isn’t it? I mean, anyone can see what I’m doing there. It’s not subtle.
  
  But, weirdly, they still have to respond. I know that was childish; I mean obviously, that was the whole point. Drawing attention to how they backed themselves into an ideological corner and sceded me the bulk of the social power in this… whatever it is. I can say anything and they still have to respond, and as you point out I’ve very effectively demonstrated that concept.
  
  Seriously, if they were arguing in good faith or were really the bigger person or didn’t care or so on, why are they still talking to someone that mocks them with emoji? It’s the lowest form of engagement - ideas so void of originality that they can be represented as a symbol. And yet, apparently still engaging enough…

    Well then you’re contradicting yourself, because you described trolling.
    
    Where, 'sactly?

    For someone who was just so concerned that I was still talking to you, you sure seem to be interested in keeping this conversation going
    
    ???. What are you talking about?
    
    Anyways, no, that wasn’t trolling

    @Warl0k3@lemmy.world
    
    Why does me keep talking to you make you keep talking like a wannabe anime villain?
    
    You admitted you were deliberately be bad faith and obnoxious to bait a reaction. That’s trolling

    @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml Because you… keep talking to me?
    
    Anyways no, as I explained that wasn’t trolling that was the setup to a rather salient point, one you yourself are continuing to validate.

    So you were deliberately trolling? Why are you still talking like a friendless loser to me?

    Sure. But I was asking you why you talk like a parody of a terminal redditor
