It was satire? Makes sense now..

The Roman legal system was extremely arbitrary and highly dysfunctional by modern standard. Why transporting some random feature of it (which contributed to it being such) to the modern world would ever be a good idea?

It think it’s the inverse and would significantly decrease the “power” a random person has due to obvious reasons.

> fragile and angry

I’m neither angry or fragile. Why would you even use these words? I just shared my observation, that’s it.

> indoctrinated

That generally comments which include this word tend to be at least mildly deranged is another thing I noticed here as well.

I'm sorry you're so angry you're resorting to not addressing my comments and doing the "I know you are but what am I" shtick.

You were still incapable of pointing out this alleged over-confident solution that I was apparently techbroing about.

Maybe it's time for bed and to stop thinking about things that make you so scared and upset.

I’m in awe of your seemingly psychic ability to sense people’s emotions over the internet.

However seeing personal insults everywhere and feeling the need to respond in kind seems rather tiresome.

What's more tiresome is people spouting rambling "critiques" of others they are incapable of substantiating due to their dishonesty and/or mental deficiencies.

There is no need to take any comment which is barely even targeted at you so personally.

Being so angry at random people on the internet is not good for you..

A weak, dishonest back-down after getting called out on being unable to substantiate your blathering. Pathetic.

Really hope you’re just trolling..

But just to clarify a bit: I’m not “backing down” from anything I said.

Unfortunately it’s just hard tell what exactly I’m supposed to substantiate because your diatribes are a bit too incoherent.. and it’s quite hard to comprehend what are you trying to say.

I would advise you to tone do the amount of “personal” insults when trying to communicate with other people.

They really obscure your actual points (assuming they exist?) and they they aren’t doing much anyway since I still can’t really tell whether you’re talking to me or somebody else.

Also I generally find that insults are most effective when used sparingly or in a subtle backhanded manner.

No you definitely tried to walk back what you said because you were unable to substantiate it. Keep flailing though.
