But you’ve just completely justified my initial comment - you admit you were transparently attempting to manipulate them (and in this discussion did the same to me) instead of engaging in good faith.
This line of discussion has never been about your ideas, it’s been entirely about criticism of your behavior - which you have yourself just explained was completely correct.
The discussion is worth having
But not so worth having that you actually want to have it.
I don’t believe I have to say anything more here, my criticism stands as completely validated.

If you want to take my somewhat glib jab implying I was herding you into an actual discussion as bad faith… I have a comment in this thread about bears you should weigh in on, lol.

I think the bulk of my responses refute that soundly.

It was getting cyclical, I agree. I can only lead the horse to water.

No, this is still true; while you have been attempting to insert your ideas into a discussion about your behavior, this discussion has never been about your ideas, only your behavior. Even my one concession to discussing your ideas, asking you to tally the numbers of comments presenting in the way you describe, was entirely said in support of the discussion of your behavior.
You’ve also continued not to engage in good faith, for example you’re now trying to present my staying focused on one topic of discussion as being somehow “cyclical” as a way to present yourself as above this discussion. You also attempt to characterize your admission that you were trying to manipulate me as “just a joke”.
To reiterate the point: the initial criticism is and remains absolutely accurate, by your own admission.

Words and context. Take from it what you will. Its apparent from your increasing focus on [your opinion of] me, despite my repeat attempts to get you back on topic, that you either lack the means to refute my points or simply are out of your depth. Its a distraction tactic.
In any case - I’d recommend either following through with your prior exit from this conversation or returning to the discussion about the subject matter. If I was interested in hearing baseless assertions about “me” I’d go read a horoscope.
And from these basic parts we derive all language.
While engaging with you here, the discussion has never been anything other than about my criticism of your behavior. I have never expressed an opinion of you beyond your behavior being that of a redditor (and criticisms of it stemming therefrom). Neither were my initial criticisms “baseless” - you confirmed they were completely accurate yourself. The focus has not increased, nor has there been an opportunity for you to guide me back on topic, because I have never departed from this topic - despite you repeatedly presenting new topics, which I have not engaged with as they are not relevant.
If you take a recounting of your behavior as somehow an expression of an opinion, I would suggest you modify your behavior so that when presented with it you do not feel the need to be defensive.
Again, my criticism of you has remained the only topic, and it has remained fully justified.
(Forgive me if there’s a delay in explaining this again, I’m going to go read a book for a while so I will not be checking my notifications for a bit.)

Edit: Herding. Horses. Hah.
