you should know i am earnest. i’m learning how to snark. i try to say what i mean and mean what i say.
sometimes i do try to make jokes, but I am not sarcastic.
this is rhetoric, not evidence
i think this is probably a fair point, but i also think it’s notable that this person was at the end of a long conversation and clearly emotionally distraught. if you pointed out this thread to them, they’d say “of course they’re not the same, but neither is acceptable” or some variation. and i think that’s a fair position to have.
strictly, they are asking how they are different, not stating that they are the same.
spamming your (irrelevant) links is not the mark of genuine engagement.
it’s bad to have your arm hacked off with a hatchet or sliced off with a chainsaw. they are not the same, though.
bothesidesing is not necessarily saying they are the same. i don’t recall ever seeing someone actually say both sides are the same.
