Doubling down I see. It's an opinion and while I may not agree with whoever you think is the best president you can't really be wrong.

I'm just annoyed at people who rant about other peoples opinions but refuse to offer their own when asked. You aren't arguing in good faith here.

For the record I don't think FDR was the best president but I also disagree with some of your characterizations.

Fine. Jimmy Carter. But I'm not interested in discussing why with you, especially considering your attitude.

[–] hypelightfly@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

See, that wasn't so hard and I actually agree with you too. Now why couldn't you have given the other user the curtesy of answering their question and having a discussion in good faith instead of ranting about their opinion without addressing anything they said?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because it wasn't relevant to the discussion. It was an attempt to sidetrack into talking about someone else. Why is that not clear to you?

Already answered. It's clear you were arguing in bad faith and refusing to give others the same curtesy you were provided.

I answered the question. What the hell else do you want from me? Are you just here to berate me until I stop talking to you? Because I can just block you right now and be done with it.
