I may regret this but I think I have to stand up for myself.

Why, though?

Why does it matter? Why can’t you drop it?

Why should I have too? Why should I let him get away with it? Why do you only go after me but not MFM?

Because, in speaking about this particular case, I feel mfm is not directly antagonizing you. Confronting; arguing; criticizing… sure. But not antagoning.

Also, 1) Whether you win or not, it will not be fulfilling; 2) attempting to do so does not reflect Christ; and 3) no one else here will care. You will not gain any respect from anyone here by continuing.

People won’t respect you based on whether you win an argument, no matter how much you protest that you’re right. At some point whether you’re right or not doesn’t matter anymore to those around you.

If we start getting non-defeatable political propaganda messages forcibly coming through our phones, then we’ll know we really are living in a dictatorship.

Any bets on how long before that starts happening?

I’ll take that bet. What’s the timeframe? If Trump is reelected, he’ll be in office until January 2025. I’ll bet we don’t get any propaganda forced to our phones using this system by then.

How does $1000 sound?

I’ll bet my new racing pod against, say… the boy and his mother.

Okay what I said earlier was too harsh and not true. Saying I’ve never liked you isn’t really true or a reasonable thing to say, and I apologize for that.

And it’s not entirely accurate for me to say I don’t like you now either. A more truthful way to put it is that I don’t like how you’ve been acting lately.

feel free to tell me why/what you don’t like how I’ve been acting lately:

just subtract such Hyperbolic statements

45 - Subtract hyperbolic statements
46 - Add parabolic questions
47 - Multiply by tangential exclamations

I am really not sure what to do about all of this.

You say “I’m sorry you feel that I’m acting entitled, and I apologize for frequently acting persecuted. I’ll try to behave better in the future.” You mean what you say when you say that, and then you drop it. If necessary, you change the subject.

That’s what you should do.

Don’t say you already apologized because, if necessary, you apologize again. Don’t say “I’m sorry but [some reason or other]” or “I’ll apologize to this person but not that person.” You admit that they’re right—whether they actually are or not—endeavor to improve yourself (because at the end of the day, your own behavior is all you have control over), and move on down the road. If it comes up again, you do it again.
