so you admit that you lied about what I said, even quoting wha I actually did say to PROVE you lied, yet...
you misrepresent a handful of commenters as “people’ making it seem like this is a commonly-held argument that rational people actually believe — without any evidence to back it up… or any evidence that it’s even true.
so, based on these lies and bad-faith twisting of the argument, why should I engage with this discussion further knowing full well you’ll just continue to lie and twist my words because that’s exactly what you’ve been doing this whole time?
see? you couldn’t even make it to the end of that comment before you did it again!
can you not control it? is the lying a compulsion for you? I mean… the evidence of what I said is right there yet you insist I said something I clearly didn’t. it’s… very strange.
Why do you need to insult soneone who has veen nothing but respectful in their interaction with you? You refuse to commit, you are not discussing anything, you are provocing and trying to put down your conversation partner.
sorry for your troubles. I recommend you seek medical or psychiatric help.
So let me summarize:
You won’t tell me what I’ve lied about. You won’t clarify your position. You won’t confirm or deny what statements of fact you accept. You won’t accept the other posters in this thread as people (???).
You asked why you should engage in this discussion any further. I don’t believe you should. You seem to have nothing to say even when asked clear, direct questions intended to give you a platform to speak. There is no discussion here.
If, on the other hand, you do want to keep going (you do not have to. You can just not respond. No one will judge you.):
Based on your statement
Which was made in the context of other users blaming the United States for production of opium during the occupation of Afghanistan, I surmised you meant that the claim that the United States is responsible for opium production during the occupation of Afghanistan isn’t supported by the facts.
Was I wrong in that? If so, what blame being placed on the us isn’t supported by the facts?
more trolling, I see
I’m not trolling. I haven’t insulted or accused you of anything and I’ve tried my level best to treat you with the kindness of Christ and patience of Job.
I’d like to know what you meant by
I took a look at the context, which was users blaming the us for opium production during its occupation of Afghanistan, and surmised you meant that the claim that the United States is responsible for opium production during the occupation of Afghanistan isn’t supported by the facts.
Was that a wrong assessment? If so, what blame being placed on the us isn’t supported by the facts?
trolly troll...
I want to understand what you meant. Ive refined my question to be as straightforward and clear as possible over our entire conversation.
If you think you’re being trolled then just don’t respond. Look away. Do something else.
If you are willing to have a conversation based on the thread topic:

Hi guys, it's pissy dickle here. This is one of my lost alts. They seem to be misbehaving. This is sad because I taught all my alts not to use logical fallacies such as:
what am I waking up to?
grow up
