    I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?

    If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.

      You tell me. I’ve never even met Flying Squid apparently.

        WTF are you on about now?

        All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you. If you no longer hold that opinion, then great, that’s growth. If you do, then I’m going to continue to refer to it as an example of your shitty takes.

          You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn’t ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn’t ask.

          An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.

          Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don’t, you don’t actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don’t.

          It’s fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.

            Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?

            An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.

            If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?

            Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don’t, you don’t actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don’t.

            Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.

            It’s fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.

            This is another incorrect presumption of my intention. I have been true and honest in all my statements.

              I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn’t do that. As you said yourself, “All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you.”

              If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?

              Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can’t you accept that? Do you want me to say I’m perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don’t think I’m any of those things, sorry.

              Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.

              Oh the irony.

                That is not a reasonable expectation. You are not so special that it is an offense to reference your words without clearing it with you first. Your comments will always be taken at face value.

                As you said yourself, “All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you.”

                I do not understand the relevance of this statement. Please elaborate.

                Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can’t you accept that? Do you want me to say I’m perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don’t think I’m any of those things, sorry.

                I do not understand. You have the ability to change your opinions. Why would you post bad ones, knowing they are bad? I cannot comprehend knowing that you are doing something wrong and choosing to do it anyway.

                Oh the irony.

                Please elaborate. I have not made any presumptions about you. My opinion of you is solely based on the information that you have posted.

                  You claimed you didn’t give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.

                  When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn’t true.

                  Your whole “I have been honest and open and truthful” thing is a bit undermined by two-faced comments like that.

                  But sure, asking questions isn’t reasonable. We’ll go with that.

                    You claimed you didn’t give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.

                    I did not claim this. I thought it was quite clear that I thought your take was deplorable.

                    When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn’t true.

                    I did not state this. My rebuke of the “you hate me” thing was that you accused me of being dishonest.

                    You are either misinterpreting or willfully misrepresenting my words.

                    Frankly, you seem more interested in arguing with this strawman of me that you have created than actually engaging with my points and your intellectual dishonesty has become tiring and boring.

                    I hope you can one day realize that acknowledging that your opinions are bad does not absolve you of spreading them.
