Your uncle probably never looked at stats of wrongful convictions in many countries then. One of the main reasons why i am against death penalty actually.

I also find it extremely unfair how a single grammar mistake somehow lowers my ability to write correctly, kind of like getting cancelled for something usually not coincidental. I don't get the part about reporting sick players, I report possibly as much as the next player, more or less.

 

And I don't get what you mean by, "sick." Are you talking about Llama? Are you using it in a slang term? Or are you assuming I'm one of those 8 year olds that block and report whoever disagrees with me?

 

If you could please elaborate on that.

 

Oops. I didn't mean coincidental. I was on mobile. I meant to write consequential.

I'm not sure why I should be reported for abuse. Especially since you said I was unfit for conversations, or whatever you said. I was just retaliating.

Er... why would he be blocked by you? Because he outsmarted you?

Jack, would you mind much if I told you that you're relentlessly fun-loving, chirpy and cheerful? It isn't a bad trait by far but if someone's having a rough day, maybe it grates a bit.  So then they want to suppress you! No offence I trust? A lot of people are having a rough time these days.

That's the impression I give off when detailing topics, (when the OP doesn't mind and no one really cares,) when I'm in my club, and sure. Sometimes when I argue. 

 

But I'm not always that way. I don't think I was expressing that in this thread. Maybe they got mad at me for different reasons.

AunTheKnight

They got mad because you outsmarted them lol

I out-argued them. Not necessarily out-smarted them. 

 

AunTheKnight

Okay. Sure.

I wasn't reading the arguments or comments.  Mainly it's personality clashes. It happens a lot on here. Chess players, you know. 

Hmm.

Well, maybe it would be helpful to read the comments. It wasn't even a long argument.

Yep. I am everywhere.
