I'm not treating it as a combat.
I didn't focus on you. No personal experience should be used in discussions concerning general advisory.
You are literally not making any sense. I agreed with your statement. Then I gave a personal account of why I agreed with your statement.
There is no combat. Because for there to be combat. There would have to be a disagreement. There was no disagreement.
Are you ESL?
It’s like if someone said that a lake “didn’t have big fish in it.”
Then you say “the lake does have big fish”
Then I come along and say “the lake does have big fish. I know because I’ve caught one.”
It’s the exact same thing.
You're free to pay no attention anymore.
I’m just curious. Why shit on someone that was agreeing with you?
You seem upset. I apologize.
Less upset. More perplexed. You took the time to type out a well thought out and intelligent comment. I agreed with your comment, but you then aggressively shit on mine. Like, to say something on the internet and have people agree without a caveat is rare. To then shit on them is even rarer.
My guess is that English is not your first language. You have used certain words in our back and forth in a way that no native speaker would use. Which I’m not saying as a negative. Simply pointing out that, as a reason you misinterpreted what I said.
Either way. I hope you have a good day, and just for what it’s worth. It’s rare that you’ll hear the words “you’re right”. It’s best to graciously accept those wins. Because they won’t come often.
