You are the one with the comprehension problem. You figure it out. However, you need to get it out of your head that everyone needs to post their views, opinions, facts, quotes or any other post just so YOU can understand it, justify it, argue it or correct it. The only condescending person here is you Rob. We all had parents and teachers growing up and none of us need you to act like you are either. If you can't understand the context of a post then don't comment on it with your attempts to correct us, put us down or speak on it from your high horse. The only thing you are achieving is literally coming off as a know it all assshole with a singular view.
I have given you 3 examples of context. All of which you have ignored and continued to argue your dumb points about "sure". Like I said before. I don't know how you are able to have conversations with real humans. I am sure it is more like you just talking to them and them nodding. As for me not attempting to condescend to you. For me to do that I would have to THINK I am better than you.
If you're not posting something with the intent that it be understood, then why post it at all? Just mumble it to yourself and think it in your head, and move on.
The whole point of posting here is to communicate with a broader audience than your mind or your dog.
Your examples of "context" are exactly what I'm talking about. You demand that I not "interpret" your words and get the wrong meaning, yet you don't want your words taken literally either. It's either literal, or interpretation. If you want your "context" (a word that you have used incorrectly in the past) to tell the story, then choose words that create the context.
My conversations with people are great because I actually listen to and remember what they say, and am able to bring that information back in the future. In listening (as opposed to just "hearing"), I learn new things about them, and about the topic they are speaking of. Sometimes, I'll later go and explore that topic further if I find it interesting. This isn't something you don't already know, but knowledge is power.
When it comes to my "singular view", my singular view in a debate is based on the facts. You can't debate with opinion or feelings or beliefs; you have to do it with facts. Tell me you like Marlboro more than Camels. How could I ever debate that?
Tell me a BOSS amplifier is better than a Rockford and facts can be used. Tell me you like the SOUND of one over the other, and there is no debating it.
Using facts in a debate is not being on a "high horse" or placing myself in an "ivory tower" (the quotes mean I am not being literal), it's how an argument or debate occurs. Facts have no feelings. But, I will say this: If you come to a debate and your best move is to try and insult me instead of arguing, then I will climb to the top of the nearest ivory tower and I will pummel you ("you" meaning anyone who does it; not pointing the virtual finger at you alone).
Anyone who thinks they should get treated kindly after attempting to use insults to win an argument is going to be very disappointed in talking to me. If someone tries to insult me, I DGAF if they feel I am being "holier than though", "pompous", "on a high horse", or any of the other pejoratives you can think of. The fact that they have tried to insult me immediately means they have no respect for me, and the game is on.
