      And the amnesia strikes again…

      Convenient how that only happens when you have no rational, evidence-based response.

      Or, perhaps, it’s another thing that psychologists refer to as “denial”…

        It’s mostly because what you say aligns with your beliefs but not mine so they aren’t as effective towards me as you’d like to believe.

          Ah, the projection again…

          You made this very clear, from the start, that this is - and always has been - about your “beliefs”. I have merely stated (and re-stated and re-stated) facts. Whether you believe those facts is irrelevant, and I don’t really care. I’m pretty sure that you’re so invested in your “beliefs” that no amount of facts would ever change your mind.

          And I’m not here to change your mind— just to keep pointing out how, when, and why you’re wrong. See… I have no emotional investment here because these aren’t my “beliefs”…. They’re yours.

            I’m not wrong, you are. But I’m not trying to forcibly change your mind because I respect your freedom to make objectively wrong choices for yourself.

              I’m not wrong, you are

              All evidence to the contrary.

              But I’m not trying to forcibly change your mind because I respect your freedom to make objectively wrong choices for yourself.

              There’s that amnesia again! I just said that I’m not trying to change your mind, that I don’t care what you believe, and that I don’t even think I could change your mind if I tried because of how emotionally invested you are in them— hence your lashing out when they’re challenged.

              I also clearly said that you’re free to your “beliefs”— but the facts and evidence contradict them. You have chosen to lash out because you object to me pointing that out.

              Not a gamble that’s paid off for you, I would say…
