This is an inherently hypocritical defensive response designed to shut down any dissenting viewpoints in a conversation. again, how is this hypocritical when i didn't say people weren't allowed to say what they said? i asked for clarification on why my comments were dumb. i didn't say "you're not allowed to call my comments dumb!" that would, indeed, be hypocritical. See that's actually not hypocritical at all. Not to say it wouldn't be a flawed statement for multiple other reasons, but it doesn't imply other people's comments are dumb by saying it. When the literal only consequence to you saying something is people saying things about it in return, the natural meaning of "not being allowed to say it" means not having to face that sole consequence. And that literally means you're saying others shouldn't have disagreed or said anything at all. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 <cite>kevwaffles posted [p:954560754] in Politics C...
