> You’re mistaken, and pretty obviously so tbh
I'm not, I think you're ego is preventing you from admitting you said something silly, however.
> Your entire argument is predicated on this completely fabricated statistic.
It's not fabricated in the least.
> I’m the authority on my own emotional state
Sure, that doesn't mean what you claim is honest however. Plenty of people would claim to be joking when they were anything but, for all sorts of reasons.
> as a native English speaker I can assure you that our dialogue thus far comports perfectly with someone who was speaking tongue in cheek
Native English speaker here also, and I can assure you that your dialogue thus far also comports perfectly with someone who was not speaking tongue in cheek, but asserted they were so they could hopefully put an end to a conversation that was started by calling them out for something silly.
> but who also doesn’t mind watching people try to dig themselves out of holes they created for no discernible benefit
Funny, that's what I'm watching here. It's a hobby of mine to recognize people who can't admit when they are wrong and need to have the last word, taking it to an extreme level. There isn't much more to be gained from this conversation since you refuse to be reasonable and acknowledge longstanding convention regarding the naming of throwaway accounts, but I am curious how much longer you will drag it out.
