no i know botnets exist here. i had to take time away from here because of how insane things were getting in the run up to the election. but what people are saying, including me in another comment, is that we are trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. i read your comment about polling data and took interest, did a search, couldn't find anything, and the asked you, the person who already had access to the intel to help me out. your response was to be snotty. then someone else provided some guidance about how the reason everyone is downvoting you is that your snottiness is unpleasant and you literally said "no i'm an effective communicator, it's y'all who are the problem"

look, i'm fully done with this conversation, i just want you to know why this all happened. it was avoidable. like. to be honest once you posted the polls it did shift my perspective a bit. i even upvoted that comment. but everything else about how you've acted in this thread? just awful and unpleasant and really makes me want to take another hiatus because i don't need this degree of hostility in my life. that's why people are saying your communication style could use some work here. it's unpleasant to the extent that it drives people away from your genuinely persuasive point.
