[quote]You are telling me to prove my negative claim. You made the positive claim that the behavior was psychopathic. I said it wasn't. It was never my job to prove it was sane, but rather to show why your proof doesn't work. It feels as if you're trying to place burden of proof on me, and that is very much not how it works.[/quote] No I asked you questions to try and get you to think through what I said and what you were saying. Instead you ignored them and just made a losing semantic argument. This isn’t debate class, stating an opinion isn’t burdening anyone with proof. You dodge the questions because answering them honestly proves that my opinion is valid, but you want to argue it isn’t.

I already told you why I think he asked the question, and you're refusing to acknowledge it because it makes YOUR point look invalid.

[quote]I already told you why I think he asked the question, and you're refusing to acknowledge it because it makes YOUR point look invalid.[/quote] You haven’t answered any of my direct questions because you’re not trying to have a discussion. That’s fine, but please spare me the false pretense.

I did answer this, actually. Your question was why I thought he made the reply, and my answer, in another reply, as stated multiple times, is that posts like this tend to be full of melodrama, which leads many to act rather cynically in response to them. At this point, the back and forth is tiring, and it's clear it's not going anywhere, but if you're going to criticize me for pretense please actually read the argument you've been having. I did answer your question, a while ago, and you accused me of being intellectually dishonest just because I didn't want to answer the question twice.

Multiple times I have asked different questions in an attempt to get you to explain why you think that behavior is sane, and/or reasonable. I’ve asked questions multiple different ways. It’s true it’s not going anywhere.
