This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"I compare your argument to refusing to stop setting off firecrackers..."

Which would be in error because they are disanalogous. There is a substantial psychological difference between word substitution, and a reflexive reaction to similar sounds, that are then evaluated to be different later on. Just because it seems instantaneous to you, doesn't mean that the individual does not actually believe they are under fire even momentarily, can you say the same for someone reading the word "suicide"?

"I argue just the way I like"

Which is logically unsound.

"I'm trying to be considerate... something you don't understand."

All you are doing is patting yourself on the back over something that doesn't matter. You may think that you are helping people, but you simply aren't.

"A life as nice as you are"

Thank you. I think you are confusing refusing to pander to idiocy, with being mean. You can be an extremely beneficial person to others without endorsing every single view or action they make.
