@admitsWrongIfProven @mike805 @pj @freemo @lmrocha wut? How does one go from "I should have the right to self defense" to "I have no friends, I'm miserable." Quite the leap.
@freemo @mike805 @admitsWrongIfProven @lmrocha @pj yeah I think this is a recent participant (last night was the first I noticed anyway) but each reply is more ludicrous than the last.

@thatguyoverthere

Yea its been escalating. Very common when a person runs out of runway for their argument.

@mike805 @admitsWrongIfProven @lmrocha @pj

@freemo @thatguyoverthere

Yes, a little bit of an agitated reaction from @admitsWrongIfProven but nothing so overblown or any major excalation as the two of you are presenting it.

And you may agree that a heavily armed person with unresolved issues and no social support or interactions is a very scarry proposition.

@mike805 @lmrocha

@pj

I have no real issue with admits. Like yea its bad faith argument but nothing so vile that i had to raise ajy real issues.

@thatguyoverthere @admitsWrongIfProven @mike805 @lmrocha

@freemo @pj @admitsWrongIfProven @mike805 @lmrocha same I just think it's kinda funny when people make silly leaps. Same when PJ asked if I was going to shoot him for some reason completely unprovoked.

You obviously never heard of sarcasm. That's what I was using (in the context of the discussion) while "standing my ground" after your rather bullyish suggestion I should "move on".

@pj @mike805 @admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @lmrocha you are right sarcasm is a completely new concept to me. 🙄

sometimes it doesn't translate well to plain text, especially when you don't have any real conversation history with a person. I have known people to mask real contempt as sarcasm in the past which is also difficult to determine in this context.

Sometimes it's useful to incorporate some kind of indicator that you are being sarcastic if a risk of confusion exists.

@thatguyoverthere @admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @lmrocha @pj as long as this thread is going nowhere good 😆 earlier I mentioned pysch meds as a possible contributor. Well lookie here... dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1 25 yo male who was probably on SSRIs and/or anxiolytics. SSRIs cause a hypomanic state (rage monster) in some young males. And they are not all that effective in treating depression either. Some controlled studies have failed to replicate that they even work better than placebo.
