      You don’t speak for everyone either and nobody means the majority in such a statement. The majority of humans don’t give a single shit.

        I wasn’t trying to speak for anyone but myself, so that is a ludicrous accusation, and “nobody” does not mean “the majority.” If you meant “the majority,” you should have said so. It would not have taken you significantly longer to type, so I don’t believe your silly excuse.

        Also-

        The majority of humans don’t give a single shit.

        Let’s see your evidence. Polling numbers will work with a decent sample size. You have them, right? You wouldn’t just be speaking on all of those people’s behalves without knowing what they actually think, would you?

            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.

                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

                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.
