... but now I think you accused me of manipulating the trust system, which I think is not fair.
Think again.
I am glad that you reviewed your tone. You can think whatever you want, but when you accuse someone, a little more responsible explanation is expected from a wise and reputed member like you.
I haven't reviewed it, I've given you an alternative. And I think the same about the bolded part.
The bullshit you say about me supposedly using strawman arguments I'm not even going to comment on them because of how bullshit they are. Or by insisting on analyzing every word I say as if this were a battle you or I had to win. Do you know that when in a forum like this one two people engage in a long discussion with long arguments, normally no one else pays attention to the discussion? They don't even read it. They see the wall of texts and pass.
Here the issue is that you have opened a thread with the main thesis that nutildah's thread is the best one for the next few years and you haven't convinced us I don't think anyone, including nutildah himself for different reasons.
