• We all understand how exaggeration works. @[email protected] linked the article, clearly indicating it’s not the same article with the same word as the exaggeration. After that, @[email protected] was willing to be clearer, but you had already removed the thread from being about the topic of whether or not this bias indicator has any value. Now it never returned to the point being obviously initially made

      careful you don’t sprain something with those mental gymnastics!

      We all understand how exaggeration works

      clearly you know how to lie badly in an attempt to cover another pile of lies, but not how to lie well enough to convince someone smart than a small woodland creature— or yourselves.

      you know what would be impressive? if any of you could just admit you made a mistake and dropped this whole charade.

      • What more do you want than “I was exaggerating”? Once that was said, this whole BS could’ve just stopped. You then say “ok, now that we’re clear that you were exaggerating, how different are these articles?” But we never got there, because you derailed.

        Request an edit if you really think it’s so misleading, I’m sure @[email protected] would’ve initially just edited if you were so concerned that this “lie” would mislead others. Now I doubt it, because you’ve proven to be acting in bad faith by not just accepting the explanation and continuing the initial discussion, but you had that chance.

          What more do you want than “I was exaggerating”?

          since it was an obvious lie - not an “exaggeration” - not lying about it for hours and hours would be a nice place to start.

          But we never got there

          because I’m not stupid enough to believe such a feeble lie.

          Request an edit if you really think it’s so misleading, I’m sure @[email protected] would’ve initially just edited if you were so concerned that this “lie” would mislead others

          I that were true, they would have after I confronted them rather than doubling down, again and again, with one lie to cover another. for hours.

          Now I doubt it, because you’ve proven to be acting in bad faith by not just accepting the explanation and continuing the initial discussion

          refusing to accept such an obvious and feeble lie is not “acting in bad faith”. you coming here to try to gaslight me into believing that lie, however, IS:

          “DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”

          • for hours” lol fuck off loser it’s the fucking internet, where interactions take a while.

            And “gaslight” and “abuse”? Jesus Christ kid, that’s some shit. I’m not replying anymore, so goodbye, you are being ridiculous and pathetic.

      I honestly think this guy might be some kind of troll. every single exchange he has with people results in him reusing these points.
