RE: The Algorithm did it... The Code is Law.

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Did I say I did? Kindly show me. Again you seem to be looking for an escape hatch.

Why do you twist and turn and look for any corner to scurry into to try to nitpick and escape?

What is wrong with looking at the entirety of something?

EDIT: Some might call it cognitive dissonance. To me I suspect it is just a bad habit. Deflection. Looking for any reason to say "See... look here... look at this one thing... no ignore everything else... let's just point over here in this corner..."

i only have your words, as do other readers. i'm certain you use those words on purpose. you seem very careful. but if asked about them, you say otherwise, and accuse me of trying to manipulate you or run away.

i very much liked most of this article and i wanted to ruminate on it a bit, and the EDIT at the end with the offhand comments about guns left a sour taste in my mouth, along with the meme. you made those choices.

I would have loved to have heard your thoughts about the article.

Instead you wanted to me to focus on the Pulse Night Club. You asked specific things. I actually searched for you showing you how I searched. You then responded to the search dismissing the one thing I found. I searched again.

At that point you switched and focused on another thing.

I spoke on that.

Then you decided to indicate that I was trusting the statistics after I said I don't trust anyone completely.

You jumped from one little thing to nit pick to another. You deflected.

I do think you may have enjoyed the article. I'd actually welcome your ruminations.

I simply don't welcome people looking for escape hatches and focusing on certain things and ignoring the rest.

I took your approach at first as being honest and not doing that. I only noticed the pattern after you kept doing it.

Now I do see you THINKING here. I do think what you say is honestly what you think. I do not think you are lying.

I just don't think you see what I am pointing out yet.

I think you will...

So now I'll do what I have told people. When I am implying something I will state that I am. I am about to imply something.

Enjoy the seeds, may they grow interesting things.

This makes sense. I could see you engaging as such. Yet I stand by those words. If the truth leaves a sour taste then hopefully you acquire a taste for sour things.

Perhaps they were not offhand at all. Have you stopped to think how they might be relevant to the rest of the article?

I will offer you an apology on one front. I realize I am being rather harsh. I can tell you I don't enjoy it.

I am just done tip toeing. Things get worse when we try too hard not to offend, to be soft, etc.

I know it sucks. It does for me too.

I can tell you I wouldn't bother at all if I didn't care.

I don't like trolls. I consider it a waste of my time.

If I didn't think it was worth it I wouldn't talk to you the way I am.

I do not think I am superior to you. I don't think I am more intelligent than you. I am simply different than you. This is a good thing. It'd be a very bad thing if you were ME.

Be you. I also can tell you have a strong mind.

I pointed out that habit because I care. I have my share of problems. I have to watch them. I am sure I have other problems I haven't even noticed.

I am not trying to be egotistical. I am not trying to be condescending.

I simply know of no way to tell you what I am trying to tell you that can avoid appearing as some of those things.

Could I be wrong about what I am thinking? Absolutely.

Am I making some assumptions? Of course. All of us do. Life is largely based upon probabilities and how we judge them and make decisions.

Can an assumption make an Ass out of U and ME... yes. Yet that is a nice platitude. Platitudes are not always correct. They are just fun to say and make people think.

Actually I am going to apologize to you. I do think I got a little too "cocky" in my response to you. I even think some of my responses were condescending. That was not my intention.

I can't justify it. I suspect it may be because I am trying to do too many different things today at once and I rushed my response.

That is no excuse. It is simply me trying to think about it. I do apologize for that. You don't deserve everything I said to you.

Thanks for hanging in there with me anyway. That says something. I'm actually a little impressed. :)
