Look, I genuinely would love to talk about these things with you. I truly would.
But, if you're going to quote dissect what I'm saying in order to repeat points you've already made and I've addressed without getting to my main point which is that you started out arguing against things that the person you responded to wasn't saying. There really isn't anywhere to go with it after that.
If my comment was dismissive I apologize, I should have phrased it better. However, I'm being talk passed (past? Idk) so its not really something I'd like to continue engaging in.
Nothing I said was quote dissection. I quoted three whole paragraphs in order to make it clear what I was responding to.
You were obviously dismissive and again, I am unironically asking you to ask yourself why you thought that was the right tack. It's also incompatible with actually wanting to discuss this, so please make up your mind about how you want to engage with this comrade here. Is it frustration venting targeted at me or are you talking to a human that's respectfully disagreeing? You can't have both.
I disagree that I'm talking past you. I'm actually trying to address exactly what you're saying. Quoting you is part of that - the thing that you believed was good enough reason to personally dismiss me. If you think I'm missing your point, nobody is stopping you from communicating that productively.
