    Human behavior in groups is remarkably similar to other interpersonal interactions. I’m not embarrassed if something who agrees with this absurd post thinks something silly about me. Amazingly, political interactions are conducted by people.

        This isn't a strictly factual issue for which a citation can be provided. Also, it's fairly clear that in this environment, any citation I provided would be shot down and questioned. That's my personal interpretation of political behavior and you are obviously free to disagree.

          Could we get this added to the top bar? I feel like it's in theme with the other quotes up there.

            Yes, of course. Rather than respond reasonably, threaten to mock me on some sort of circlejerk.

              Whining about circlejerks while jerking yourself off so hard that you might faint from dehydration is certainly a move.

          So basically "It came to me in a dream."

          More likely that it's a claim that is incredibly unlikely for you to be able to back up because it as an absurd and ridiculous thing to believe on its face, which is precisely why you are being asked to support your claim.

          and questioned

          Oh no, horror of all horrors! We wouldn't want to risk discussion and dialog in a space explicitly intended for exactly those things!

          If you just want to say some bullshit and have it pass without comment, you can accomplish that by shouting into the void. There's no reason to post publicly if that's all you want to do.

              I responded to your claim pretty clearly when I said

              it's a claim that is incredibly unlikely for you to be able to back up because it as an absurd and ridiculous thing to believe on its face, which is precisely why you are being asked to support your claim.

              Just because you don't agree with my characterization of your claim doesn't mean I didn't respond to it.
