What's your "old person" trait? - eviltoast

My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

    I’m big on not branding someone in a “Kill the Messenger” sort if way, but the tone of your replies shows me that you’re overly emotional and not intellectually honest in the conversation.

    Your nitpicking on points just to make your point in a strawman sort if way, and how you are not trying to consider the real meaning of the points I’m trying to make, is visible for all to see.

    It’s just not worth my time to correspond with you anymore, you’re trying to protect your ability to be rude to others who have your cell number for texting reasons, no matter what, just to make your own personal life easier.

    For the record, I disagree with the points you’re making, you are incorrect In them.

    Carry on, Internet Warrior.

      What is that even supposed to mean, lol.

      you’re overly emotional

      a) no, I’m not, you’re just not used to people telling you to your face that you’re the one who’s a rude pedant with control issues.

      b) being emotional is nothing bad, and calling other people emotional, again, is just a way for you to dismiss and deflect criticism.

      Your nitpicking on points just to make your point in a strawman sort if way,

      What nitpicking, what strawman, exactly? I was asking you to tell what “timely” is. You spend days whining about your son being “rude” yet you cannot even quantify what that means. Where’s the strawman there?

      is visible for all to see.

      You’re conflating your perception with reality. May I suggest you go to your inbox and then I think you’ll quickly realize that it’s quite the other way round.

      you’re trying to protect your ability to be rude to others who have your cell number for texting reasons

      Ah, so I don’t know you, but you are allowed to speculate freely how I behave towards others, gotcha.

      FTR, I do, as a matter of fact, respond to other people in “a timely manner” (though I’m sure it wouldn’t meet your high standards). I also have enough respect for other people to not judge them just because I understand they don’t have the same life, the same “rules”, nor do I expect them to make me the center of the universe.

      you are incorrect In them.

      Sure, you get to decide who is “correct”, lol. Any more delusions of grandeur you want to share?

      Carry on, Internet Warrior.

      Uuuuh. Yeah, you’re clearly not emotional. At all. Your lack of self awareness is really quite something.
