Because that's what generally follows. It's almost like I've been down this road many times before or something, isn't it?
I don't know about your road, and I'm no fan of generalization. It's hard to talk with people online if you expect the worst from others. I would say the chance people arent shit is better than 50/50 and i would always gamble on it. Obvious trolls are obvious, the rest is more how you feel about it.
...says the person who started this by trolling with "Let’s all be scared!"
In contrast to your "Not a good sign."
Yes, I know why you were trolling.
If i was trolling were you at least slightly fearmongering?
Whether I was or not, that does not excuse it.
Making an innocent reply on the internet forum?
If by 'innocent reply,' you mean 'troll post.'
Ok, i hurt your feelings, but it was quite tame.
You did no such thing. Don't lie.
What am i lying about? At least I'm not assuming what you will ask me, like you do.
This is what you're lying about. As I already told you once. Do you need to be told a third time?
I didn't knew i hurt your feelings, a assumed it. Like you assumed i would ask you about boosters. Which means you lied too.
Um... what's the difference between assuming something and 'knowing' it exactly?
And I literally said "let me guess" about what you would say about boosters, meaning I neither assumed nor knew. I guessed.
But go ahead and pretend you don't understand the difference between a guess and a declaration. That would go well with your trolling and gaslighting. A hat trick, one might say.
Go ahead and guess away, you may guess it right some day. Wow, it rhymes :)
Tell me, did you guess wrong? Or are you gonna gaslight me that it doesn't matter were you wrong or right because i thought that anyways?
When I am wrong, I admit I am wrong. If I guessed wrong, I guessed wrong. But I did not assume anything or declare it as if it were a fact. That is what you did.
I'm sorry i said i triggered you. I said my opinion in a slightly trollish fashion because i wasn't agreeing with your conclusion about masks, but i probably could have done it better.
