And I was trying to correct that. In other words, their opinion was based on a misconception. I was trying to correct that misconception. Is that so wrong?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's not wrong, but I think your means were disproportionate to the desired end. You know what I mean?

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

I wouldn't put it that way. I just get frustrated easily when people's debate tactics is to just repeat their original argument and not actually respond to the other person. So I tend to react poorly to that.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I don't think it was an argumentative tactic, so much as it was you guys just talking past each other. Which is maybe why it's so easy for stuff to go sideways. Mutual incomprehension.

And I totally get what you mean about frustration. But I think that's also kind of exactly what I'm talking about - because from the outside, the result of that frustration looks like it's massively out of proportion to the subject of the argument.

[dethtoll]

Fair enough!

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I mean, I guess the thing that worries me is that it seems like your narrative is still about the other person flagrantly ignoring the facts, and not about you and the other person not understanding what the other meant to say and then getting pulled into an argument because of mutual frustration

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if the other person felt that way about you.

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

Keep wondering.

Well "Fuck this conversation and fuck your willful ignorance."

You sound like an asshole for basically calling someone purposefully stupid because you of how a stranger on the internet's opinion of DC differs from yours.

sa

*because of how you

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

I love how you imply that's the first thing I said right out the gate and not at the tail end of a long thread where I tried to explain something and they were just LA LA LA LA FACTS AREN'T REAL.

Who's the asshole here? Me, for getting frustrated, or you, for mischaracterizing my frustration as some sort of character flaw?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

You.

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

Right, because nobody's allowed to get frustrated ever or they're a bad person. Whatever, kid.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

But they weren't saying that. At all. They were saying "I don't care about the comics. I only care about the movies, so the movies are my exposure to DC." Everyone could understand that except you.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god. Don't start. Just read the original thread to hear all the responses he will give you.

yes, everyone else understood what they were saying but dethtoll didn't and won't.

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

lol

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

That's exactly what they said, but reality's always open for interpretation I guess.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

That's clearly what they meant to say, and they misspoke. And then everything developed from there.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

When you're the ONLY person interpreting something a certain way, that's usually a pretty good indication you're getting it wrong.

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

Ahh, argumentum ad populum. It's everybody's favorite fallacy, so it can't be a fallacy!
