"Nah, eight words in, I think I've got enough here to unload my insecurities without it seeming at all irrelevant to the full comment. In fact, I'm so confident I have the full context, I'll include a full-stop there in the quote. The words immediately after were probably useless. There! Now, time to finish it off with a 'If you think...' retort that will definitely be on point and worth everyone's time."
It doesn't matter how many words in it was. Your statement was wrong. Period.
I don't care how many times you say the word "circlejerk" after that. You were wrong.
Then you proceeded to repeat it again. And were wrong, again.
You are so indoctrinated it's pointless. Even hypotheticals are for realises at this level. Enjoy your society. You've made it what it is.
