Im not sure what the motives are behind replies like this, however, ai123 was speaking about pretty common social etiquette as I understand it.

He may have been speaking about an outdated social etiquette, however he was also playing a moral high ground card in his argument.

Again, you have this backwards. I don't require other people to pay if they ask me to dinner. I just don't expect them to pay if I ask. What is difficult to understand?

If this is your new stance, great. But don't pretend that was your original stance. You seem to forget one can easily read through this topic and what your original stance was which was the person who asks should pay.

So what's difficult to understand is you walking your stance back and pretending this new stance was your stance all along.

You literally did say you expect the person who asked you should pay, I didn't make that up, and it's rather ridiculous to pretend I made it up when one can literally read through this topic to see you did. Post 9. You even go on to feed me the moral obligation bs about how rude it is (post 26) not to pay if one asks the high crime of spending time with someone. As if one should expectcompensationfor blessing the asker with their presence. My stance or rather rebuttal to that was I find that in itself to be rude, and that I'd find it less rude if it's that much of a bother, just tell me no to hanging out.

You and I started all of this on your stance that the person who asked should pay.

You have only NOW expressed your stance is different from your original post.
