There's no reason to be rude. I strongly suggest you reread what I said and consider the context of the thread. I never said that 9/11 was a successful use of terrorism, I said that the statement Data made about the troubles being successful was offensive and would be similar to saying the same thing about other terrorist attacks. You then aggressively began demanding evidence for something that was never a statement of fact, making it unclear what you were talking about. When further questioned, you became genuinely insulting for absolutely no reason. I won't be responding again, but please take some time to consider how you approach discussions in the future.

I never said that 9/11 was a successful use of terrorism

I have quoted you several times saying exactly that.

I said that the statement Data made about the troubles being successful was offensive and would be similar to saying the same thing about other terrorist attacks.

you may have intended to argue that, but you clearly argued:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

and now you keep insisting that:

You then aggressively began demanding evidence for something that was never a statement of fact, making it unclear what you were talking about.

when you very clearly said this:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

and now are acting indignant that I have to keep reminding you of that and how you’re somehow unclear of why after I’ve explained it several times.

I’’m very sorry you can’t wrap your head around this. and, yes, it’s best you don’t respond again, as I’d just keep repeating myself.

"It's sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism." Sorry, I don't know how this could have been clearer. Take care!

if that’s what you meant, perhaps you should have said that at some point…

I don’t know how this could have been clearer

by saying what you mean and actually providing evidence to back up your claims, as I have said repeatedly.

[–] VioletTeacup@feddit.uk 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's... literally what I said...

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

except for the first time you said it in your last comment, show me where you said “9/11 was a terrorist attack" before. because what you were arguing before was:

It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism

do you have amnesia?

[–] VioletTeacup@feddit.uk 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That was a typo. I've edited the comment to show my original quote.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

ok, so, you do have amnesia and have forgotten our entire conversation. well, then I suggest you go back to the beginning because I’m not walking you through this again.
