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.
