> These words are stated by you to start a fucking war. Any reasonable person can see this.
Eh. Is it a war if only one side thinks so and is fighting, and the other is amused?
Your other reply was deleted - I wonder what horrible things it said?
> And your counterpoint isn't even charitable.
It was a nuanced reply explaining the current consensus position and why the idea that pigs are smarter than dogs is a myth, but you have overlooked and dismissed it because you are viewing it through a very limited binary of right or wring, winning or losing.
If 'winning' a silly discussion on an internet forum means such a big deal to you, then I think you need to reevaluate your priorities and do some self-reflection.
> You're literally the definition of a malicious person.
Nah. All I did was tell you you're wrong and call you out for it, and then you got all defensive and uppity after claiming you provided a source and continued to, and still continue to falsely claim you are correct. Why? Because ego. Nothing to do with me being 'malicious'.
> Thanks. But you didn't need to say this right? What's the point? Again, malice is literally the only reason.
Highlighting your need to have the last word because you equate it with winning. This behavior/need of yours isn't exactly knew to us who have been around for a while now.
> Either way. Finally you are walking away.
After this reply I sure am :)
You're going to come back and have the last word because you need to. I hope it fills whatever voids or gives you satisfaction enough to distract from whatever issues are bothering you.
I'm going to ask that in the future you do as I originally asked and do a little more research and not perpetuate misinformation. I know you are going to need to respond with some retort so you can gain what you think is ground, something about not being 'malicious' or whatever, and that's fine. Say what you need.
But even if you can't admit to it or want to act dismissive in your reply, I hope you will do what I ask upon reflection - please don't perpetuate misinformation knowing, due to ego or any other reason. It can be very harmful.
I won't be replying again, and would ask you never reply to me again or initiate a discussion with me, as I prefer not to interact with people who act as you do.
>Your other reply was deleted - I wonder what horrible things it said?
Looks like you aren't leaving even though you said you would. I wrote that I wasn't going to read your shit. I changed my mind. So I deleted it.
>Eh. Is it a war if only one side thinks so and is fighting, and the other is amused?
Whether the other side is amused or not is irrelevant. What is clear is that other side is deliberating acting amused. Right? What you write here is not a reflection of your actual feelings or thoughts, it's just what you intend to express as your feelings or thoughts. Whether that's real or not is irrelevant.
So what's the intent of acting amused? Of course it's to start a war. It's malicious. If you were amused but not malicious you wouldn't act amused because everybody knows the consequence of acting amused in front of an angry or emotionally distressed person.
It's a common strategy when someone wants to trigger a more emotional person. Just constantly act amused. Such actions are usually artificial in nature because a person in distress does not normally trigger amusement unless the other person is a psychopath. Do you truly get amused by pissing other people off? Whatever. Whether you are amused or not is, again, irrelevant. It's your intent of displaying you are amused that is the tell here.
What you're doing is more of a dominance game. You play it well, but unfortunately this isn't the place to play that kind of game. It's not the place to act malicious.
>Nah. All I did was tell you you're wrong and call you out for it, and then you got all defensive and uppity after claiming you provided a source and continued to, and still continue to falsely claim you are correct. Why? Because ego. Nothing to do with me being 'malicious'.
You don't call people out by calling what they say a myth. And then leaving it at that. It's quite rude and It's also against the rules to do that here. But in addition to that your claim is flat out wrong, your evidence irrelevant and weak as well and you didn't make any effort to prove otherwise. You completely skipped over that part and are attempting to address the part of the reply in which you have a chance to "win" in your dominance game. That is pretty much clear now. I offered a scientific paper and you have offered nothing else beyond that. Clearly it's because you have nothing else beyond that.
If you truly thought you were right you wouldn't be using malice as a strategy here. You would be using facts, evidence and logic. You would be sticking to the topic because that would've been an avenue for you to win the "game." Unfortunately it's not a way to win and you're actually the only person playing that game.
>After this reply I sure am :)
Good. Walk away now. Do not respond. Stay true to your own words and Thank you for doing so.
> Whether the other side is amused or not is irrelevant. What is clear is that other side is deliberating acting amused
Well, no.
You're saying that whether or not I am actually amused is irrelevant, because you're just deciding/alleging I am acting amused.
I'd say whether or not I was actually amused or not is certainly relevant to your claim that I am only acting amused.
FWIW, I'm amused because I recognize your behavior as that of someone quite young. I acted similar ways 20 years ago and now I think it's just kind of funny to see in other people.
> So what's the intent of acting amused? Of course it's to start a war. It's malicious.
No no no. There is no 'war' except in your mind. Again, I simply called you out for being wrong and spreading misinformation. That's it, and it normally wouldn't be a big deal to most people. But you took it really really personally and decided to go to war over it. And here we are.
> What you're doing is more of a dominance game. You play it well, but unfortunately this isn't the place to play that kind of game. It's not the place to act malicious.
Nah, there is no game, although that you see this as one is an interesting insight. I agree this is not a place to act malicious, which would include trying to claim ownership of threads and ordering people not to reply, of not taking responsibility for perpetuating misinformation and getting angry when called out for doing so, etc.
This is also meant to be a place for high quality intellectual discussion, and you betray that and bring this place down by perpetuating misinfo and linking crappy blog articles and pretending they are legitimate sources.
> You don't call people out by calling what they say a myth.
You were told you were wrong, by someone who clearly knows more on this topic than you do.
What you should have done is investigate and realize you were wrong, instead you felt the need to defend that you are right regardless of if you are or not, and so working backwards from that goal you found some crappy source you thought you could use to try and convince people. It didn't work, and now you're mad and digging your heels in. It's intellectually dishonest and this is not the place for intellectual dishonesty.
> But in addition to that your claim is flat out wrong, your evidence irrelevant and weak as well and you didn't make any effort to prove otherwise.
No sport, I'm absolutely correct. It appears you still didn't bother reading my reply because all you can see is winning/losing/right/wrong, no room for nuance.
There is a key sentence in the reply to the other user that I put effort into (since they were friendly and humble unlike yourself) that addresses that nuance, and I encourage you to re-read it with an open mind and without hate/spite in your heart.
> I offered a scientific paper and you have offered nothing else beyond that. Clearly it's because you have nothing else beyond that.
No, it's because I know I'm confident in what I claim and because you have established yourself as a bad faith actor not interested in determining objective truth only interested in trying to win and avoid being wrong, regardless of what the actual truth is.
It's much more productive, rewarding and fascinating to put effort into correct you in this discussion, it's like a lab experiment or something. How long until you will be able to let it go? Who knows, but we will find out. For science.
> Good. Walk away now. Do not respond.
If it wasn't for this arrogance I may have. But now I'm going to reply to every reply you make just to see how long you stick with it. I'm as curious as I am fascinated.
>FWIW, I'm amused because I recognize your behavior as that of someone quite young. I acted similar ways 20 years ago and now I think it's just kind of funny to see in other people.
If you are actually amused then you're a bully. This statement here shows you like to bully people younger then you and laugh in there face. You enjoy angering people and triggering them. But I don't believe this statement. I think you're not being honest here.
I don't think you're actually amused now. But we both know it's clear your intent on overtly displaying that you feel amusement.
>If it wasn't for this arrogance I may have. But now I'm going to reply to every reply you make just to see how long you stick with it. I'm as curious as I am fascinated.
Arrogance? You left out the part where I thanked you for leaving. Now you want to stay and ignite the conflict even further? Does conflict "fascinate" you? I don't think it does. I think you're only pretending.
I think it's the dominance game at play. You want to play it till you win. The problem is, I'm not playing the game. You're just playing it with yourself.
>There is a key sentence in the reply to the other user that I put effort into (since they were friendly and humble unlike yourself) that addresses that nuance, and I encourage you to re-read it with an open mind and without hate/spite in your heart.
I don't hate you. But I do think your a malicious person. I think you're not moral nor a person I would trust ever with anything. But I don't hate you.
Im not sure what your implying here as the key sentence. Why don't you stop being vague ish and just spell it out so we can explicitly point by point examine every facet of our arguments.
>Looking forward to your next reply. Cheers.
Yeah. I'm not. But I will respond. Would appreciate it also in your reply if you just stick with your point and not have to overtly display how "amused" or how "fascinated" you are at this whole thing. I already know your intent here so doing that is just repetitive on your part, thank you.
Nah not a bully. If someone is acting in a particular way that doesn't really make sense and is kind of embarrassing, and that I can relate to, then amusement is a natural reaction. There is no malice necessary or implied in such a reaction.
> I don't think you're actually amused now. But we both know it's clear your intent on overtly displaying that you feel amusement.
Well you can believe whatever you like since clearly you're disregarding anything I claim, lol.
> Arrogance? You left out the part where I thanked you for leavingv
Because it was drowned out by you arrogantly giving orders.
> Now you want to stay and ignite the conflict even further?
This isn't really a conflict, this is just something interesting. You types of people who need to have the last word, I'm always fascinated how long you will keep it up for. How long until you get bored or give up? Will you still be here replying in a month? It's fascinating.
> I think it's the dominance game at play. You want to play it till you win. The problem is, I'm not playing the game. You're just playing it with yourself.v
Again you can believe what you like, but even if we go with your hypothesis...you are clearly trying to play the 'game', or you wouldn't keep replying.
> I don't hate you. But I do think your a malicious person. I think you're not moral nor a person I would trust ever with anything. But I don't hate you.
That's good. I don't hate you or think you are malicious, just deeply insecure and unable to handle being wrong.
> Im not sure what your implying here as the key sentence. Why don't you stop being vague ish and just spell it out so we can explicitly point by point examine every facet of our arguments.
Why should I have to spell out something for you that is clear? The only reason you don't know what I'm referring to is because you glossed over my comment. Here's a hint: "not enough evidence".
> Yeah. I'm not. But I will respond.
Of course you will. You have no choice.
> Would appreciate it also in your reply if you just stick with your point and not have to overtly display how "amused" or how "fascinated" you are at this whole thing. I already know your intent here so doing that is just repetitive on your part, thank you.
That's up to you. If you make a comment only sticking to the subject and facts, then so too will my reply.
Eh. Is it a war if only one side thinks so and is fighting, and the other is amused?
Your other reply was deleted - I wonder what horrible things it said?

It was a nuanced reply explaining the current consensus position and why the idea that pigs are smarter than dogs is a myth, but you have overlooked and dismissed it because you are viewing it through a very limited binary of right or wring, winning or losing.
