    Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn’t a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

      Nice strawman argument, was that what I said? Nope.

      Also, “advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions”? Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

        Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

        Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say “hallmark”? Hope that doesn’t cause you to stumble. “Stumble” means to trip while walking; in this case it’s a metaphor for thinking.

        Hope that was clear enough for you.

        Nice strawman argument

        Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don’t know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

        So nice self-contradiction I guess?
