    I’m now saying “everyone” is lying (instead of just you lying, and the other people in these comments who are clearly lying, look at the screenshot)

    This is as far as I got into your “well, acktually” reply. Yes, you’re saying everyone. Everyone in this thread. You also implied there’s this conspiracy to chase Jordan off Lemmy (I really hope there is), so we’ll include the supposed actors in that plot in the Everybody as well. Don’t try arguing semantics with me, your messages are right there, and you’re not very good at it.

    You typically do your best to post long, detailed messages where you argue semantics, try calling out logical fallacies, and generally try to act like a neutral, logic-driven intellectual. The problem is, none of your arguments are particularly compelling, and that tactic isn’t convincing because humans aren’t logical creatures. Everybody knows this is just a facade you’re adopting to try to make your arguments seem well reasoned, and the opposing side like an overly emotional teenager. But you see, to actually make this whole act work, you have to be clever. You’ve got to do more than repeat bullshit you read on some debate forum.

    And Phillip, you aren’t very clever.

    Now, we can be done here, or I can keep making fun of you while you make dry, long-winded replies and pat yourself on the back. But you might as well save your breath for now, because judging from how many shit takes you post in this comm, there will be plenty of times for me to embarrass you in the future.

      Confident assertion! I knew I was missing one. You just need to show super conviction about your side.

      you’re not very good at it

      This one is pretty rarely seen: Negging. I don’t think I’ve seen it done on Lemmy before in exactly this way.
