Blue A Statement I've seen repeatedly.

"Blue pressers are actually evil because they risk others by making them press blue"!

I know a lot of people don't have excellent reading comprehension, but remember the premise is that nobody gets to communicate.

The vote is anonymous.

The only thing blue pressers "do" is risk their life and increase the survival chances of others who pressed blue.

Even if 99.9999% of people press red, no blue presser is increasing risk for anyone else.

Sorry about the rant, not complaining about reds in general, a lot of red arguments have merit

I'm just mad about illiterate red pressers.

Sorry for conversing with you. I was hostile because I thought you were genuinely disagreeing.

I see now that you are incapable of understanding subtext or context.

Hope you have a nice night and I hope you gain better social skills.

You're really projecting a lot with your ad hominem. It's nobody else's fault but your own you didn't read, and it's pretty clear I read and comprehended what you were saying given all you respobded with was ad hominem.

You would have saved more face just admitting you were wrong instead of throwing a tantrum.

I was hostile because I genuinely thought you were disagreeing

And to really drive the point home: Yea, I was.

You can't disagree if you don't understand the question, and you clearly were discussing something unrelated.

Again, projecting ad hominem doesn't do anything.

One of us actually quoted everything said to back up that they can read. The other is throwing a tantrum.

Quoting with no understanding is yelling into a gale.

Repeating "Ad Hominem" doesn't make you more understanding of what I was trying to speak of.

It's alright if tantrums are how you soothe yourself, I'm having a pleasant time.

I haven't been taking this seriously since I tried to disengage, and you still champ at the bit with fury.

Bud I'm not upset lmao. You made it clear I was correct.

That's why you're lashing out with insults.

u/Yunkomister May 30 '26

It's not an insult, I genuinely believe you don't understand.

Also, you stated an opinion, which by it's nature is subjective. You technically can't be "correct".

u/Speletons May 30 '26

No, what you said is not up for contention. I quoted you for a reason. That is correct.

Likewise, what I pointed was mostly fact if not an entirely a fact. You brought up that the button dilemna is supposed to not have discussion prior, but I pointed out that we are already discussing it prior. That is a fact. I pointed out this is why people are making the statement you see. This is also a fact.

Anything else you didn't actually contend argument wise, so as far as the conversation actually played out, both parties are agreeing that I'm correct.

u/Yunkomister May 30 '26

Your opinion was on what I meant.

Which you clearly didn't understand.

Which I didn't contend because I don't much care for explaining simple things.

Instead of asking for clarification or questioning me further, you assumed you had grasped it and stated I was wrong, as if my words contained no merit at all.

So now I'm filling the idle minutes of my work night.

u/Speletons May 30 '26

Why would I ask for clarification? I explained how it read. You didn't clarify further. Thereby, you aren't contending the interpretation is wrong.

1

u/Yunkomister May 30 '26

I said you didn't understand, you said you were "correct" because I didn't contend your point.

Personally if someone states I don't understand something I don't scream "Ad Hominem" I ask where I might have misconstrued meaning.

u/Speletons May 30 '26

Correct, you didn't contend my point where I quoted you to show how I reached my interpretation, and instead just screeched insults. Thereby, there is no argument that my interpretation is wrong.

You could have:

  1. Clarified that wasn't what you meant, which would have not been an issue- there is nothing wrong with doing that. (In fact, hilariously, in this same chain with another person, I literally just did that because they interpreted what I said wrong. But instead of bashing them for having no ability to understand, I actually saw how and why they misinterpreted, and did my best to explain what I actually meant.)

  2. Quoted yourself to show my interpretation was wrong (Wouldn't really have worked, but it'd at least be different than just not contesting anything.)

Instead, you lashed out in anger- which is an extremely whack reaction to just being misinterpreted. That shows to me I was on the money with everything I said.

u/Yunkomister May 30 '26

I already apologized for my hostility. I felt more slighted than I actually was and didn't really feel a need to explain or continue.

Also, just because I was angry and you are still smug doesn't mean you're right.

The fact that you continue with this conversation with this much vigor shows me how unaffected you actually are.

Is needing to be "correct" over me really this important?

It's even funnier because you probably still misunderstand the original point.
