Wow.

You gaslit me to make a point about how stoking outrage has become the point...

Yeah, fair enough, I guess you have a point then and you have been sincere the whole time. Now I'm regretting not keeping in that the only way you could be sincere is if you're a sincere asshole, because turns out that's exactly the kind of sincere you are. Because I did write that at one point and then I deleted it before posting because I thought "surely they're not that big of a piece of shit so out of respect for them I shouldn't insinuate that's what they are".

Turns out I was wrong. That's exactly who you are. In hindsight it makes perfect sense. No wonder you wouldn't empathize with how the community even reached this point. It also explains why you'd turn into such a troll when others get annoyed by you. It even explains why you're somehow empathizing with the tesseract dev, because you're cut from the same cloth.

So yeah, I've been convinced you are sincere and have given it consideration. I've also been convinced there is no persuading you to believe otherwise because those beliefs come from the core of who you are. To be open to change your opinion on that matter would be to be open to change as a person and I seriously doubt you're open to that. I don't even know where to go from here. I've never reached an end of the discussion feeling like this is someone I never want to interact again. But there has been an upside to this as well. I couldn't understand why people would parade being on that banlist, because in the end it's just a banlist someone put together. However after this discussion I understand why so I'll peace out with that little nugget of truth because that's about the only useful takeaway from this whole thing.
