Uh, okay, but, how do you just disagree with an idea then?
The idea being

And my disagreement being with the assessment that it is "incorrect". It's not. That's an arbitrary choice and pointing to "authorities" there changes nothing about the arbitrary-ness.

In fact, I went all in on good faith there by validating that idea as one coherent way to see this topic.
I just fundamentally disagree with it and brought forward my equally valid and coherent way to see this topic.
Which got countered with a "this is just a strawman" (which is false, as that is not how strawmans work) followed by a direct attack
> but you just happened to hop on the wrong case to make your stand, didn't realize that we're talking about an explicit "mr"?
And now you show up and.. uh.

Yeah anyway. The direct attack there alone is enough to lose any moral highground. So even if I had been doing what I was accused of (which I clearly did not), that would be a less worse offense?
Idk.
