You stepped into my conversation with someone else. The statement I called out was:

"For 10 years now, we’ve been hearing how hysterical the predictions about Trump’s actions are. And then he does them. And goal posts are moved, frogs are boiled, whatever analogy you prefer."

If that's not a statement you want to defend then there is indeed no value in your participation.

This is hacker news, that's the point of threaded conversation. I presented fine counterpoints to your arguments, and you failed to effectively engage them, instead moving to straw man arguments. There is a reason your post was flagged to death. This is the end of our conversation.

That's some fine projection there. You made fine counterpoints to a strawman position that I never took.

Yes, TDS.

I'll take that as an admission of defeat.

I must be blind, because I can still see your comments.

Discussions are not about winning or losing, that is a toxic mentality to have. You need to review the HN guidelines. Good bye.
