I did downvote some of them, but not, as a rule, those which engendered or contributed to the conversation.
And you apparently don’t understand what I was “clearly” describing there, so allow me to be clear: I used an openly hostile attack because it meant the weight of evidence was on -your- side. All you had to do to have no damage to your reputation was to say nothing at all, and my tirade would have been taken as unfair and hostile. Instead, you doubled down on exactly the wrong behaviors.
Ah, another lie from you combined with a masterful use of Dark Arts. You state here that:
I used an openly hostile attack because it meant the weight of evidence was on -your- side
However, in your previous comments, you clearly acknowledged that you used an openly hostile attack because it meant that the weight of evidence would be on the side of the person making the attack—you. Indeed, using an openly hostile attack anchors the “weight of public opinion” in your own words, on the side of the one making the attack. It primes the reader to agree, as we intuitively emotionally agree with the things we first come across, and have to use System 2 to force ourselves to disagree. So please avoid lying in the future. You’re really not doing yourself any favors by your blatant lies.
