    In case you’re not trolling, I would like to point something out to you:

    The up-/downvote ratio here probably reflects the fact that onlookers don’t believe you are arguing in good faith. It should act as a wake-up call to you, an indicator that you should re-consider what the other person is saying and ask yourself “Am I misunderstanding their point? Could this be interpreted differently?”.

    You may find that you are disagreeing with them over something they never said or intended to say.

      That doesn’t concern me. Just because Lemmy doesn’t believe something I say, doesn’t make it false.

      i t should act as a wake-up call to you

      Why don’t you tell me what I have said that seems to be not in good faith that I should wake up to.

        Ok, I’ll put it clearly: You’re wrongly interpreting the person you’re arguing with as saying something you disagree with. They never meant what you’re claiming they meant, and they’ve said as much.

        When you keep trying to nail them to the wall, it comes off as being disingenuous, and just looking for a fight, even though you don’t really disagree with the OP on anything related to what they’ve posted in this thread.

        You’re being downvoted because everyone else can see this, and think you’re trolling because you don’t seem to see it, even though it’s obvious to everyone else. In fact, it’s so obvious that people probably think it’s more likely that you’re trolling than that you genuinely don’t understand that you have no disagreement with the OP here.

          You’re wrongly interpreting the person you’re arguing with as saying something you disagree with.

          But he admited he was being sarcastic in that part of this post. So in one post, he is sarcastic in the first part, not sarcastic in the last part. Is that really the way to do sarcasm?

          So since he didn’t but the “/s”, which he admitted to, and was sarcastic in the first part, but not the second half, the is it so hard to understand that someone may not think he was being clear?

          That doesn’t make me “not arguing in good faith,” It’s me misunderstanding because of the we worded things–which he admitted to.

          I haven’t tried to “nail them to the wall” at all.

          so I don’t understand why you are going on and on. Move on already.

          In fact, it’s so obvious that people probably think it’s more likely that you’re trolling

          Let’s fucking think about this: Would trolling really be me misunderstanding someones fucking sarcasm? Do you think that’s the definition of trolling?! come on…
