Honestly, I've said this before that I find the ignore list a last resort. I do not try to silence people, even when I disagree with their opinions.
What possible egotism tells you that you are qualified to judge when something is a last resort. Someone too weak to carry a bag of cement will use a wheelbarrow as a last resort. What is a last resort for you may be to a person of wisdom a nonexistent obstacle.
The "I'm smarter than you" attitude is just grating.
All this statement means is that in your opinion you project an attitude that because you feel inferior it is me who is trying to make you feel that way. That's not stupid. You were made to feel inferior and any awakening to the fact that you feel that way coming from what I say to you just reminds you of that inferior feeling. I don't see you that way at all. Naturally though, if you feel stupid you will act that way if you lack self awareness.
It's why, when I sometimes respond to Moonbeam, that I say I am making a statement and I'm not going to go back and forth with him/her/it. When he/she/it's attitude is closed off and set in concrete, there's no way to change it.
What you call statements are opinions. You just don't like them challenged. You are like conservatives in this respect. That's my opinion.
And it's why I have just glazed over his/her/its posts most of the time. There's practically zero value in most of the posts. His/her/its psychobabble is just fluff,
It couldn't be that you can't stand up and present rational reasons for the truth of these opinions.... Again, you imagine that your opinions are factual reality. That's just arrogance from which when questioned about you run.
and when you pull the same psychoanalysis of him/her/it, as I did one time, he/she/they get in a hissy fit.
The only place that happened was in your mind. You are blind. Why would that make me angry? I want to help you see. Unfortunately for you, the way that I do that is to tell you the truth, the truth that I see. What you see in me is a threat to the wall you hide behind. You can lead a horse to water.........
