you mean bad actors like, say, someone who insults a stranger right off the bat for making a post they disagreed with, then proceeding to demand said stranger conform to their preferences?

you insulted me by saying I only care about fiction affecting reality if I can use it to dunk on someone. explain to me how that's not a hostile opening statement.

it was adversarial for sure, but not ad hominem. it was based on your self-serving recitation that omitted any kind of counterpoint. i'm sorry (i guess) if you took that personally rather than as a moment to reflect on whether you could have been more considered.

how was my post self-serving? why was I obliged to provide a counterpoint? and in what universe would you assume that approaching a stranger with an adversarial statement would prompt instant reflection rather than the thought that 'hey, that person's being a jerk'?

you're not obligated to provide a counterpoint. you're also not obligated to engage with people who disagree with your main point. and yet you are.

I could say the same to you, the person who started this. kind of hypocritical to criticise me for continuing a conversation that you started and are also continuing.

does 'acting like it's a trial' simply mean 'refusing to agree with you while also not going away'? because. I mean.

no it just means that you're acting like i'm antagonizing you when you keep giving right back. like are you not antagonizing me if that's the definition? maybe just stop and agree to disagree.

ah yes, the 'it doesn't matter who started it' defense. the fact that you started it does actually matter, but I suspect you figured I'd be an easy mark to vent at or cow for whatever reason, and now you're cross I'm still here.
