Lol, Reiwa is the type of person who has an inflated view of their own intelligence. They think they are smart and thus they think they are asking these "gotcha" type questions, when in reality everyone is just looking at them like "what????"

Seriously!!!

I just have to share this recent exchange from his gluten thread. He had changed the topic from Celiac's to corn subsidies, and I responded with:

Without the subsidies, we wouldn't have (or at least we'd have a lot less) "corn addiction".

The main (though certainly not the only) effect of all those subsidies is to make corn cheaper. People consume cheap things more than they consume expensive things, and so they consume more corn when its price is artificially low.

He responded with three completely nonsensical questions (but only two question marks):

What about when the corn addicts vote for someone to take away their corn subsidies?

Is that illegitimate?

What's the problem.

I was confused:

Huh?

He explained that not only had he stopped talking about people with Celiac's, or people at all ... or even corn subsidies! No, he was worried about the corn itself:

The corn addicts are being provided with corn at a subsidized price.

The majority of all corn addicts vote to end the corn subsidization.

What should happen to the corn?

I tried to answer reasonably, but (like you) I noted that his questions were ... peculiar:

People should eat it, and then not grow so much corn? Same thing that should happen if anyone votes to end the subsidies.

You sure have some odd questions.

But now here's my favorite part of this whole thing ... his response was (essentially) to accuse me of corrupting the conversation, because I couldn't understand his mad ramblings!

This is a popular meme right now.

How out of touch with reality do you have to be to spend your time asking questions about what happens to hypothetical corn in a hypothetical future scenario ... and then when someone (politely) asks you "WTF?", you telll them that you see them as a political enemy, who is just pretending not to understand your corn fixation (so they can disrupt an oh-so-important Off Topic conversation)!

Are you tattling on me for disrupting an important Off Topic conversation?

It looks like you're tattling.

Yeah I legitimately think he has some degree of autism or some other disorder. Not intending that as an insult, he just operates that way.

That is an insult. And you have zero convictions.

So you're saying being autistic is bad? Sounds like you're the one who is turning autism into an insult.

I don't think being autistic is an insult at all. It's a condition. Doesn't make someone a bad person.

You wouldn't have said it in that context if you didn't mean it to be an insult.

You're like an old southern women with your backhanded coded insults sipping your mint julips and being l ike, "yall i didn't say nunthin of the sort"

This is pretty funny to me. I said upfront this is not intended as an insult. I said again that I don't find someone being autistic to be an insult. Yet here you are going "no you're wrong you meant it as an insult!!" Lol. I think anyone familiar with me on these forums would know that when I want to insult someone I do it, I don't couch it in pretending like I'm not trying to insult them lol. I would literally just insult them.

yeah thats why I'm like its not cool to dismiss anyone over it.

Yup, I wasn't dismissing him over it. I was explaining to Loramin my opinion as to why he makes such odd/random/nonsensical statements, a lot of the time seemingly totally out of context.
