I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

    No, you aren’t. That’s the problem. You could just hit Show Context a few times, and see what I’m talking about, where you scoffed at the suggestion I hadn’t insulted you. Or you could remember when you wrote that, like, an hour ago. But you’re making extremely specific demands as if the exact word I used must be the exact word you used, or else I’m completely wrong about everything.

    How dare I say you say I said a thing, just because that’s plainly what happened.

    More to the point - how dare I project any sort of internal state onto you, in this discussion of how you have done exactly that to me.

    I am telling you there was no insult in answering your comments directly and accurately. You cannot believe that. And that inability is somehow my fault. Aaand asking how I could do better is just further insult, and also my fault.

    The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.

          Insulting me won’t make a lie true. Sorry. If you didn’t lie, you can quote me. But I’m pretty sure you lied.

            ‘You are not being intellectually honest.’

            ‘When did I say that?’

            ‘Incorrect.’

            Again, because I can’t trust you to recognize the concept: paraphrasing.
