    You can still be a dick even if the person you’re being dick towards isn’t in the room.

      Are you calling me a dick? If you’re not, then what value did you bring to the conversation? If you are, then are you not actually being far more abrasive than I was since I’m actually here?

        Well, you called the author of this article a “naive dumb-shit,” which does indeed make you come across as a bit of a dick - so yeah, I guess you could say I’m calling you that.

        However, that wasn’t really my main point. What I’m actually calling out is the flawed reasoning behind your logic suggesting that you’re actually not being a dick, simply because the person you’re directing it at isn’t part of this thread and can’t even hear your “criticism.” As if that somehow makes it more acceptable. It doesn’t.

          I’m sure the naive dumb-shits of the world appreciate your crusade to protect them. If you read the conversation with the actual mod, you’ll see that I’m really calling them a shill pretending to be a dumb-shit at this point. If the world actually stood up to this kind of stupidity and fuckery instead of protecting it, then the US probably wouldn’t have ever had Trump as president. Oh well… best wishes to you.
