two can play that game. it's just that i'd feel incredibly stupid and disingenuous to do that unironically, ignoring crucial parts of a point and pretending it says the opposite of what it actually does. to each their own though...
You should feel "stupid and disingenuous" because thats what you are.
You time and again refuse to engage with anyone's arguments and think calling people names is a good replacement.
I fully recognize you are trash and your post was meant as an insult, but even in your smears and response to other people you admitted I have arguments and you associate me with making certain types of arguments. Lying about the merits of my arguments or not liking my arguments is not a refutation.
I contrasted this with your own argument-free anti-intellectualism.

disingenuous camboy 'arguments' (some vacuous commonplace like "x doesn't necessarily mean / rule out that y is still true / false", suggesting something while avoiding to make an actual claim, only to fall back to "well i didn't explicitly say x is true / false" when called out)
There is nothing inherently invalid or wrong about the form you characterized as 'x doesn't necessarily mean / rule out that y is still true / false", nor is correcting you when you falsely claim I say and mean things that I do not. Those are valid responses.
Calling valid arguments that refute what you say 'disingenuous, vacuous and dishonest' rather than actually trying to refute them is reflective of your poor character and disinterest in actually being correct and intellectually sound.
