Yes, this is what I said. We all agree.

You are still confused.

I appreciate your backpedal, but no we do not agree.

  1. You disagree with the judge and jury that dumps was found liable for rape.

I agree with the judge and jury that dumps was found liable for rape.

  1. Parroting part of what I said, then pretending you said it first while you equivocate rape and bash straw men is much less agreeable than you appear to think it is.

If your greatest desire is pedantry, you should try it on someone who didn't supply you with your information.

Don't play make believe if you aren't ready for the real world.

[–] Hawk@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You are very hostile. I'm not sure what your problem is.

There is no argument to be had here. We've both expressed the same points and we are agreeing.

Touch grass man. Life is good.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't appreciate your attempts at manipulation and called you out on them.

You seem upset you got caught and upset you aren't being allowed to keep making things up.

We do not agree, you're attempting to equivocate your poor conduct with my straight talk.

Not how it works. By all means, "touch grass".

[–] Hawk@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah man, look I'm sorry you feel that way. I wish you all the best.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No you don't, or you would engage honestly instead of trying to manipulate the conversation and imply I've written something I haven't.

"I'm sorry you feel that way" is textbook gaslighting, a quick way to use the correct apology language to end an argument without having to admit fault” (Forsythe, 2021).

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-mental-health-revolution/202203/i-m-sorry-you-feel-way-and-other-gaslighting-tactics

  • Gaslighting is psychological abuse through verbal, written, and/or physical actions that cause the recipient to question their reality.

  • A non-apology is used to deflect, pretend to apologize, and ultimately win the disagreement by placing blame back on the individual.

  • The insensitivity of gaslighting often lies in the lack of self-awareness and self-inquiry to address control issues and avoidance of apologies.

Hey, I'm not that invested here. It's cool, we're good.

I don't have a horse in this race.

Another obvious affectation, are you trying to collect them all?

You're over a dozen comments deep into this conversation, using insults, equivocation, gaslighting and manipulation trying to avoid admitting your clear mistakes and errors in judgment.

It's natural that you would keep trying to avoid responsibility, but you are repeatedly trying way too hard to trick people and make up stories to pretend you don't care.
