The person 2 wasn't even giving the benefit of the doubt, they were just confused about what case the earlier person was talking about (likely because Trump didn't lose the mentioned Jane Doe case)

I think here Person 3 thought you were Person 1 who originally said the "technically not an accusation" thing.

That's when I commented. I really don't know how this looks to you (and it gets worse from there) but nobody was playing devil's advocate, nobody was giving benefit of the doubt even, there was no rape apologia. I'm not sure if it was meant to be a joke on your part but it just seems like you misinterpreted what was being said and flew off the handle.
I guess Sarcasm really is above some people. I never disputed what they said no matter how hard you want to twist this narrative.
I just answered their pondering with sarcasm because of how ridiculous this whole thing is.
You must be on the spectrum to push this hard on me being snarky.
Everyone knew it was sarcasm but why you decided to start all sarcastic about it.
What was ridiculous about it, in your mind?
I don't think they take that kind of comments well here. I don't mind but just a heads up.
Classic overreact to my overreaction.
I would have probably just pissed off after venting a couple times about the ridiculousness of arguing legal semantics in a case involving one of the most prolific serial rapists of our time.
How tone-deaf it looks... but you all haven't experienced rape firsthand. You don't have daughters who have been raped.
You think the difference between someone losing a case and the case against them being dismissed/dropped is legal semantics..? Not to mention, the first person was just wondering what case it was they said Trump lost...
Holy shit this doomrider guy is dumb af. Stop wasting your time with him.
You're right, I should've stopped a while ago
Also just to absolutely clarify to everyone, when you said they are "playing devils advocate to a rapist" and called me "rape apologist" and so on, was that also sarcasm?
