Again, everyone else in this entire forum falls into two categories.

1) Rational human - these people frequently disagree with each other ... but they do so on top of a layer of decency. If A and B disagree, A can listen to why B disagrees, and either change their mind, or they can convince B to change his opinion. Ultimatley, there's a presumption that everyone is playing for the same side, truth, and that you "win" by getting everyone to see the truth of reality.

2) Trolls - these people disagree for illogical reasons. They can't be convinced to change their opinion, because they don't actually believe in it.

Now both Samo and Zura probably fell into category #2 at some point in this thread (I'm too lazy to go back and find examples, but I think I remember it). However, they were explicitly trolling you when they were.

You, again, are unique ... and not in a good way. You are the forum's only

3) Falsely sincere disengenuous poster - you engage in conversations to prove your brilliance and win forum fights, but when a disagreement arises there is zero chance you will listen to the other side: in fact, if they present more logical evidence, you will just double down on stupid, and keep arguing against that logic no matter what.

Ask yourself this: is any other poster so insecure about their posts that they feel the need to always get the last word in? No, because they care about truth and reality: they know that "winning" a forum thread by repeating the wrong thing until everyone gives up on talking to you isn't really winning anything.
