Wait, so you are being transphobic?
That was one of the things you proposed. Im suggesting there are other potential meanings, that you did not propose. i will not be explaining what i do mean any farther than i have; i think i already did a decent job for people reading in good faith with capacity for complexity. I'm done with this conversation, it's already substantially damaged my respect for humanity.
If I wasn't participating in good faith I would've just assumed you were saying something transphobic from the start, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Then I said you sounded like you meant the positive (not the negative) of the two things I thought you meant and you said you didn't mean that. So... I'm not sure how you think I'm not participating in good faith when I did all that. Even now I'm not writing you off as a monster, I'm willing to hear what you have to say. I'm waiting for you to tell me what you meant, but you're just being vague and refusing.
I don't know what's more good faith than giving you two benefits of the doubt and willing to give a third if you'd just explain.
Confident I said no such thing. Cite me doing that. Dont actually, i just didn't, but go look at why you think that.
Read what i wrote. Or my explanation of it. I feel like i was as thorough as i could be without being condescending.
Shame i didn't write anything after the clause
I'm just about done with this fucking place and im done going out of my way to explain myself to people who arent making any effort to understand. Communication has two sides, i cannot hold up yours, and i don't need the internet to talk to myself-an activity that offers more gratification and novelty, while costing far less disillusionment and alienation.
Think of me what you will. Hell, accuse me of being the spawn of robert galbraith and adolf hitler. I have very few fucks left to give about this place.
Damn. Seems i said that too early. But i feel like I'm done now.
I feel I've communicated well. You keep not explaining what you meant. I want to know. But you're refusing to tell me.
Scroll up.
This was your explanation.
I'm good faith, I assumed the best by saying this.
Rather than agree with me, you said this and refused to elaborate, going so far as to tell me to interpret as I like. When I only have two possible interpretations, one positive and one negative, I don't know what else you'd want me take away other than the negative.
So I clarified, in good faith, it you meant the negative thing.
You were vague and refused to give any explanation. I thought it might be two things. When I asked if it was one of them, your response seems to heavily imply it wasn't that one, but refuse to give whatever third thing it might be.
So... What is it? Because you're saying that I am "not making an effort to understand" when I am in fact bending over backwards to give you benefit of the doubt and understand what you mean. You say communication has two sides and you're done trying to uphold mine when I am desperately seeking clarification on what you said but you just refuse to provide it.
What have I missed?
Read what i said.
I did and I'm asking for clarification.
You're in luck! I already provided some!
Where? And don't tell me to look up or read again because I recounted the conversation as I understood it already and went over with you that you're not being clear, so if you're acting in good faith tell me where?
Okay.
Good faith discussion.
