we already established if you were calling them from Crete it would be Cretans, you're just insulting them and now me.
you're really not doing much to disprove my original point tbh
Correct, which is why your objection was baseless.
I never denied insulting them. The .ml admins are absolutely vile and cretinous.
if so then it surely takes one to know one
So we're in agreement that the .ml admins are vile and cretinous. :)
I'm not sure you're taking my meaning. if you're willing to insult people like that it says more about you than them
If it "Takes one to know one", then you are not merely affirming that I'm vile and cretinous, you are also necessarily affirming that my recognition of the .ml admins as vile and cretinous is correct by regarding my qualities as necessarily granting me insight as to whether or not the admins share said qualities.
I understand that might be too complex for you to parse on short notice, considering your previous difficulty with discerning the meaning of plainly stated reasons in the form of the written word regarding the 196 issue, but I'm sure that if you sit and ponder it for a few hours, it might eventually click.
I draw the line at ableist insult, but if you want to insult people like that I'm just going to assume you're doing so from a position of experience.
I can see why you have such a hard time with people offering real-world advice like 'dont try to force others people to change their opinions'
If it's an ableist insult, like you claim, wouldn't that mean you're insulting me on ableist terms?
hardly, I'm just pointing out that you're clearly speaking as the most authoritative person on the subject
But your claim of my authority is that I am cretinous, which is an ableist insult according to you.
It seems it takes very little to get you to whip out the ableist insults. That's pretty disgusting, ngl.
I believe it was you who started calling people cretins, also I didn't even call you anything, just observed that you are supreme authority on the matter
So if someone uses what you regard as an ableist insult, you think it's appropriate to use that same ableist insult against them? Wow. I'd hate to hear your opinions on the r-word.
Then we're in agreement that the .ml admins are cretinous, since I'm the supreme authority on the matter. Thank you for affirming my opinion, strange that you would go through all this trouble just to agree with me though. :)
if someone is running around calling people ableist slurs, it says more about them than anyone they're defaming
I agree, which is why it's horrific that you're calling me cretinous, when, by your own admission, you see it as an ableist slur. Very sad, even.
citation needed, I just observed that you seem to be the foremost expert on the subject matter based on how liberally you use the term for other people
This you?
yeah, I'm just deferring to your expert knowledge that you've demonstrated, what's the issue?
Would you like to explain what 'one' is here? Or are you trying to wiggle out of the fact that you are, by your own standards, a disgusting ableist?
I gotta say this is an impressive attempt to darvo this when you opened up by being like "all these people I don't like are cretins"
'If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoes' was essentially my response, but now I'm the one offender. Clearly you are just always put upon.
So you can't explain what 'one' means without admitting that you meant 'cretin' or 'cretinous', a term that you interpret as ableist.
Sorry that you're an ableist. It's pretty disgusting.
Not even close, lmao. But I don't expect much from disingenuous cretins. :)
pugjesus moment
I said, quite openly, that I don't find cretin an ableist insult. You said, quite openly, that you feel cretin is an ableist insult.
Sorry that you can't live up to your own standards? I'd say you should lower them, but I doubt you could live up to them then either.
🍿
I'm notnsure why you debated for so long, but it was quite the read lol.
Good work fighting the good fight pug.
I have trouble letting arguments go until they've no life left in them. Like leaving a painting on the wall slightly crooked.
An understandable thing, really, we all have our quirks. In other news I have perfectly aligned pens on my desk at home.
Do you insult everyone you disagree with? if so your chronic internet usage makes perfect sense.
Just the idiots.
That's quite an ableist interpretation.

There's something wrong with the text, got those weird-ass backwards letters and shit.
Something about "only knowing two ways to solve problems", I don't know, can't read moon language.
Your original point showing that you know nothing about the 196 split and that you baselessly spread slander about 196 not respecting neopronouns?
That original point is already long disproven.
