I think you're just talking about Thomas Riker

I think Yar tried

Is that take really, "if you don't know everything don't say anything"?

I agree

You (liberals)

Here's the heart of the issue. You're attributing me somewhere incorrectly and continuing away from there. It's also confusing to people who haven't been through the liberal vs leftist talk yet but would otherwise be an ally.

You are a liberal

Nope

therefore you believe in racist vicious and vapid things

Still no

That's what liberalism is constructed out of.

And some of the greatest science owes debt to terrible things. That doesn't mean good can't come from bad. Plenty of leftists had to go through liberalism to get there.

aesthetics can still matter. If I say I disagree with you or I say I think you're a stupid piece of trash there are people who would consider that to be aesthetically different but they convey a different message that will be received different.

I'm saying this makes it look like you think your shit doesn't stink. You're not the bastion of reason it looks like you're trying to present yourself as.

I have no idea how you got to the interpretation you put there.

So you don't shit in you own house, just in others? That's not really improving anything.

Don't need to. Saw how your users here descended upon my home instance the other day. You're hardly without blame around here

Yep. They lie about themselves and they're opponents. Just like their opponents do in an opposing direction. They lie to make the opponents look worse and themselves look better.

Just like you've done here.

Exaggeration of "enemy" faults while downplaying your own.

I think you're wrong on the overwhelming majority and that they'll still be fine with it should it happen.

Good luck I guess

There were no adblocking extensions for early internet explorer so consider its share 0.

What you consider it to be is irrelevant. An extension wasn't any more the only way to block ads then than it is now. Ad blocking has absolutely been happening longer than there have been extensions to do it.

Adblocking increased at twice the rate of new internet users

Which means it's going to reach a critical mass at some point, no? What would you expect to happen then?

very obviously trolling or roleplaying

Damn am I sick of people falling on this regardless of what the disagreement is over or who it is with. Even if it were true, which it's not, you have a better picture of the situation, at least if you're willing to accept that someone legitimately disagrees with you.

I'm sorry to hear about your food
