    I’m not a hypocrite when I’m right–and I am 100% right. You can call me whatever you like, it won’t change the truth.

    Wasting time on useless pursuits is time wasted. There is no resource more precious than time. Wasting it is a sin. Encouraging people to waste time and defending the act is worse because now many people will waste time. That is a bad outcome. There no upside.

    Nothing useful was produced, nothing useful was learned in the process. Even if there was some peripheral learning that took place, it was accidental at best.

    This is my hill and I will die all over it. Youre welcome to be here if you like, but this corpse is in it for the duration. You may not enjoy the aroma.

      You’re not a hypocrite because you’re wrong, you’re a hypocrite because you complain about others “wasting time” while you waste time, it should also be noted in a less constructive way. The fact you’re objectively wrong about them wasting time is irrelevant.

      Nothing useful was produced, nothing useful was learned in the process. Even if there was some peripheral learning that took place, it was accidental at best.

      What are you basing this on? It’s just your own assumption. You’ve gone from “nothing learned” to “the learning doesn’t meet some arbitrary standard I’ve set and apply at random”

        My point of view is valid, trying to construct some argument around it changes nothing. You just dont like what I’m saying. You dont have to like it. You’re just going to have to be OK with being intellectually inferior (and incorrect as a result).

        You will get over this in time.

          Valid in what sense? What argument? You’ve not backed it up, when presented with evidence to the contrary you move the goal posts.

          You just dont like what I’m saying.

          I don’t like hypocrisy, no.

          You dont have to like it.

          I’m sorry, did you think I thought I did?

          You’re just going to have to be OK with being intellectually inferior (and incorrect as a result).

          I may well be intellectually inferior, but based on current evidence I don’t have much to worry about. Your argument has now become “I’m right because I think I’m smarter?”

          You will get over this in time.

          Get over what?

            The fact that you tried and failed to justify a nonsensical position upon someone else. I presume you’re a frequent flier in this regard.

            Fyi, I know that you DESPERATELY want the last word. You will not get it.

            See you soon!
