      I’m not feigning. I don’t know what point you were making. Perhaps you could expound using more descriptive terms?

      It seems that you are currently so agitated that my honest statement of not knowing what you mean must actually be a sneaky bad faith strategem.

          Oh, so is it amnesia then? Because you seemed pretty clear on the topic of discussion until I cornered you. Then, magically - or just conveniently - you have forgotten what we’re talking about.

          Feel free to rephrase and expound on what you said. I do not see how it applied to what we were talking about, and therefore don’t see its meaning.

          And pretending to be psychic and read my mind (or, perhaps, hallucinating) via the internet doesn’t make you right. How is that even rational?

          As I said, I recognize behaviors and clichés. And you have not yet contradicted a single prediction and have accidentally confirmed a few.

          Why should anyone believe what you say when it’s clearly either a bad-faith argument full of disinformation or evidence of your ignorance and inability to comment intelligently on this topic?

          I have made no bad faith arguments nor presented any disinformation. Please do your best to not make things up and to address what I have actually said.

          And, of course, you should be against genocide and act accordingly.

                  This did not begin with you engaging in good faith with what I said, lol. As I said originally, I (clearly correctly) interpreted you as having a defensive posturing, not one showing any interest in understanding. It has only been downhill from there. At this point your comments are just word salad and attempts at quips and insults. You have no actual replies to what I say, so you are also inventing things and using terms that you don’t understand incorrectly.

                  I invite you to show me some of this “rational person”. I assume that such a person has no need for straw men and pretending to know words just because they sound like a good zinger. I assume that such a person can directly address what I say rather than being evasive.

                  Alas.

                    “Nuh-uh!”

                    Do you often find this to be an effective debate tactic?

                    Lying about what I said, spreading, disinformation, and mischaracterizing and ignoring everything you don’t like and what happened is certainly not engaging in good faith. Why should anyone believe what you say?

                    Pretending that I’m the one who’s been doing everything you have (especially when everyone can see these comments) and your constant psychological projection certainly is not anything but bad faith.
