    Where you’re claiming exaggeration, I’m claiming trolling. Especially when you expect me to prove something I never claimed.

      I claim something that doesn’t have statistics from my findings, I asked you if you have opposing statistics.

      I did use exaggeration as a linguistics tool.

        No, you asked me to prove something I never claimed.

        It is not my job to prove words you put into my mouth.

        Now stop putting words into my mouth and stop speaking on behalf of others. That is trolling.

        You just can’t engage with flyingsquid. He’s mod everywhere and baits people into silly arguments and then bans them lmao

          Honestly I’m happy that a person like FlyingSquid is a mod here. I’ve seen some cases that may have been debatable but I didn’t have full context and every time some troll like this shows up moderation seems very reasonable to me.

            That’s good for you, I don’t seek squiddy out I just peruse all a few times a day and I usually don’t look at usernames but the majority of the time when I’m reading comments and the person is coming off as pedantic and petty and I look at the username… lol
