i have decided that whoever is disagreeing with me
has an unreasonable position,
and sees the world so differently than me that it is
not worth seeking mutual understanding
or common ground.

for example, it is not worth me
explaining why you are a homophobe
because this is okayplayer.

it is not worth you explaining
why you are not because this is okayplayer.

it is not worth you telling me
that I am bringing up gay shit
to discredit your perfectly neutral, devoid of context post
because this is okayplayer.

you made this post to troll for
responses even though you will
play innocent because this is okayplayer.

it is not worth you explaining
why you aren't a troll because this is okayplayer.


it means the poster has no interest in having the samw conversation again when it is
already known by both parties
that the discussion is not worth it.


it is an attempt to marganilize an opinion by casting the speaker
as the lone voice of reason on the forum.


it's a clever rhetorical trick
but I usually disregard ppl
that use it too often.


because this is okayplayer.
