MODERATORS
You keep saying you have a large sample size but you won't say how large. Why should anyone believe you?
I don't care if you believe me.
Then why are you bothering?
If you look back, the people addressing me have been arguing about why I shouldn't believe my sources, and they're using nothing but degrading insults and authoritarian arguments to try to sway me. My responses have all been appropriate. Nobody has asked for clarification or explanation. They just read my claims and reacted with their own narcissistic responses. I don't care if you all remain ignorant of the truth.
"I have a huge sample size but I'm not even going to say how large" is not an appropriate response.
Allow me to rephrase for people like you. "I am confident in my research and experience, and I have no desire to explain years of work to the willfully ignorant."
All kinds of people are confident despite being very wrong. Confidence is not a substitute for evidence. Neither is insulting people.
Yeah, that applies to every response in this thread.
Does it? You insulted me by calling me willfully ignorant. I didn't insult you or make it personal at all, so that sounds like it applies to your responses, not mine. And how is insulting me appropriate when you claim all of your responses are appropriate when I did not do you the same discourtesy?
You are willfully ignorant. You only have the very vaguest idea of the dynamic of the mind body interaction I briefly described, and now you're devoting all of your will to painting me as an antagonist simply because I responded to hostility and ignorance with the same instead of patiently spoon feeding you information that you'll promptly disregard or manipulate to reinforce your existing beliefs of who and what you think you've encountered.
See, you think I owe it to other people to drag them kicking and screaming to what I know is the truth, and I know that's pointless. All I can do is communicate with people on the level they project onto me. If you wanted to ask questions and have a constructive conversation, you'd have done that from the beginning.
What are you even talking about now? I didn't say anything about the mind body interaction. I didn't bring it up or discuss it. How is that me being willfully ignorant?
I meant if you want to talk about ignorance, you seem to be totally ignorant of what I've said to you so far since you think it involves something I never even mentioned.
You didn't say anything about it, correct. I did in the very first post. I know what you've said so far, and you don't seem to realize that it's irrelevant because we're having two different conversations. You've been a pedantic and condescending asshole since your arrival, and I've been responding. You THINK you're correcting me, but you've yet to consider what you're correcting because you're arguing more with your assumptions than you are with me.
Okay, you've used up your two insult limit. Time to block you. I will not tolerate Reddit behavior on Lemmy. Goodbye.
