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 mean if someone makes death threats

This is a clear suggestion that Anon was making death threats. Don't be a liar

I find if interesting that you've read that first paragraph and interpreted it as a suggestion of one thing, then read the paragraph immediately below it that could have suggested the opposite, and not only completely ignore that second paragraph, but also fail to realize that they were hypothetical situations to explain a point. Everyone understood that but you.

Sure, force a specific interpretation of my words that you've specifically cherry picked to make you sound right so you can feel better about yourself. It ain't gonna be true and we'll both know that whether you like it or not, but judging from the fact that you just came back 4 days later for this, I don't think this fact will bother you. This is a 4 day old thread and nobody is left here to witness the level of mental gymnastics you're capable of anyway. Go ahead, treat yourself.

then read the paragraph immediately below it that could have suggested the opposite,

Your second paragraph did not suggest the opposite

You claim you were deliberately being vague, then get mad at someone allegedly misinterpreting what you said? The solution is to not be vague, not to gaslight people by claiming you didn't say something you absolutely did. Grow up.

1- The second paragraph could very well be interpreted as suggesting that hypothetical threat allegations being fraudulent and therefore suggest the opposite. This is downright bad faith from your part.

2- I'm being mad at someone calling me a "liar" and trying to continue to force their own erroneous interpretation of my own words after I immediately clarified it for them and who keeps doubling down on it even after further explanation.

3- You call it "vague" and yet still claim that I "absolutely did" mean what you think I meant, once again giving yourself a completely unwarranted benefit of the doubt on the matter against the now overwhelming evidence.

4- Everyone else interpreted it correctly except you.

5- Why the fuck would I even accuse Anon of making death threats when they were never mentioned in the article to begin with? It is much telling that this is where your mind went immediately.

6- You came here looking for something to get angry about and thought you found it by diagonally reading through my comment and jumped to conclusions. Now that I called you out on it you decided that it had to be my fault instead and are going further down the rabbit hole of inventing all sorts of malicious intents from my part.

7- You don't have to admit it to me, only yourself. Because you will be blocked as soon as I have sent this. You will be the first one I've ever blocked on Lemmy over a comment argument too. I thought I had left this crap behind me when I dumped Reddit years ago but some seem to have followed. Which by the way also refutes your new unsubstantiated accusation of having made my original "deliberately vague" as if I had created some sort of trap to attract people like you. You can now rest assured that I don't want people like you in my life.
